DCWS visited Inca Dinca Do Farm & Fibery in beautiful North Saanich on Vancouver Island.

| Scenic Fall day at Inca Dinca Do |
The Mill is owned and operated by Tracy Brennan. Our group tour leader was Brenda Nicholson, who showed us the overall mechanics of the Mill. It was a very interesting experience to see how the Mill processes raw fleece to rovings and fibre.
