FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Fiber Processing
What are your fiber processing limits?
For yarns, not including core-spun yarn or Lopi style, the staple length needs to be between 2 and 6 inches. Core spun yarn and Lopi style yarn can be over 6 inches long.
How do I prepare my fleeces for processing?
Fleeces must be well skirted. We do not offer skirting services at our mill. We will quickly check for items that can damage our machines, such as sticks, burrs, or toenails. Excessive vegetable matter will not come out in processing. To skirt your fleece, remove any short fibers (less than 2 inches), dirt, sand, poop, hay, urine stains, and other vegetation. A well-skirted fleece will decrease your shipping and incoming costs. We reserve the right to reject any fleece not suitable for processing.

No, we only accept raw fleece. We require washing to be completed in our mill. This ensures that fleeces are cleaned to the specifications required for our equipment. We use a high-quality scouring product.
