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 your fiber is going to pindrafted or spun we will wash 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, some fiber is lost at every stage.

The price for Spinning is based on the finished weight of the yarn, PLUS the charge for roving, thus: Incoming weight of Roving + Finished weight of Yarn = Total charge for Yarn. Spinning includes pindrafting to size, spinning singles, plying singles, and skeining or cone winding. Skeined yarn will be steamed unless otherwise specified. If a skein length is not specified, the yarn will be skeined at appoximately 100 grams, or 3.5 oz. Please note that although we will spin a fleece of less than 2lbs, there is a minimum 2lb charge per fleece.

"Exotic" fibers include Mohair, Alpaca, Llama, anything more exotic than that and some wools. These fibers require that we run the machines much slower, and in some cases it is necessary to add a percentage of wool in order to process them. Mohair processing requires the addition of 15-30% Merino Combed Top. Suri Alpaca that has at least 50% huacaya alpaca or 30% Merino Combed Top added will be charged at the Exotic price and may be able to be spun into something other than lace.

Fiber with excessive amounts of VM (vegetable matter) or other contaminants may be refused and may be returned at the owners expense. The skirting charge is not all inclusive.

We require an estimated 50% deposit to begin processing your fiber. The remainder is due upon completion, before we return your fiber. Orders left over 30 days will be billed a 5% per month surcharge. Orders left over 90 days will become property of the mill unless alternate arrangements have been made. To calculate your deposit for carding orders, determine the pound weight of your fiber and multiply that by the carding price and include a deposit for half that amount. For spinning, simply calculate the roving price and include a deposit for that amount. The final price will be determined after the yarn is finished.

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.

Our average turnaround for spinning is 6 months, and 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. Please pack your fiber in plastic bags, ideally clear, and include a note in each indicating your name, and the animal/batch name. 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 have had limited success with fed exground, and do not recommend using it to ship to us.

To pay your 50% deposit you may either send a check or money order along with the fiber or alternately, we can generate your estimate and you can pay your deposit via Intuit/Quickens IPN, or via credit card.

Prices are quoted per pound. Minimum charge $25.00
