NOTES and TERMS |
The price for carding to Roving or Batting is based on incoming weight. If you have already washed your fiber, we may rewash it. If you have put any sort of conditioner into it we will rewash it. If we encounter any problems or issues we will attempt to contact you before we act. Be aware that an average of 30 percent and up to 50 percent of the starting weight can be lost in the various stages of processing. A significant portion of the loss is in scouring, however, fiber is lost in both every stage. Generally, the shorter the fiber, the greater the loss.
|
Please note that the price for Spinning is based on the finished weight. Spinning includes all elements of processing (except skirting or extra washes) from washing the fleece to skeining the finished yarn. If nothing is noted, we will skein at 250 yards. In most cases we will triple rinse the finished skeins. |
Exotic Fibers are as follows: Mohair, Alpaca, Llama, and some wools. These fibers require that we do extra washes, run the machines slower, and in some cases it is necessary to add a percentage of wool in order to process them. Some fine wools, such as Merino require extra attention in processing, often needing extra scouring.
|
| At this time we do not process Alpaca 2nds and 3rds. |
Fiber with excessive amounts of VM (vegetable matter) or other contaminants will be refused and may be returned at the owners expense.
|
We require an estimated 50% deposit to begin processing your fiber. Please do not send a deposit for the full amount of the order. The remainder is due upon completion, before we return your fiber. Orders left over 30 days will become the property of the mill. We only charge our actual costs for return shipping. |
| |
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Orders which are cancelled by either party will be returned at owners expense. By placing an order with us you are agreeing to our terms. We are not responsible for typographical errors in this website. |

Turnaround Time: |
| Our average turnaround for spinning is currently 4-6 months, and 3-4 months for roving. This is approximate, and not a guarantee. We realize that turnaround time is an issue for some customers and we do our best to keep all orders moving through expediently. There are a number of factors that can affect this such as condition, quality and quantity of fiber, payment of deposits, full completion of order forms, machine maintenance, time to obtain blending fiber, services selected and color. For example: if we have a very long run of white in progress and you have a well skirted white fleece your order may be pushed ahead of a black fleece. |

Ordering and Shipping instructions: |
Please contact us before shipping your fiber (in case we are away). We recommend a delivery confirmation or a tracking number from the shipper, so you will know when it has arrived at the mill. Please download and fill out an order form as completely as possible. If you have multiple fleeces that you want processed individually, please bag each one separately, and fill out and attach an order form to each one. You may place as many separate orders as will fit in your box together. Put the fiber in plastic bags and suck as much air out as possible (you can even use a vacuum cleaner). Generally, the smaller the package, the cheaper the shipping. We can get to work sooner on orders that are complete than on orders for which we have to chase down information. We do NOT recomend shipping to us via FEDEX ground.
Please include your estimated 50% deposit at the time of shipping. You may either send a check or money order along with the fiber or pay using your credit card, debit or PayPal account. You may send PayPal payments directly to our email address or we can generate an invoice for your credit card payments when you contact us.
