Pricing for Fiber Processing
All finished products are charged on the finished outgoing weight and include all processing needed to get it to that stage.
------
Prices do not include shipping and handling or applicable taxes. Prices may be subject to change without notice.
Please understand that our spinning machine requires a minimum of 3-3.5 inch consistent staple length to spin yarn. If your fiber is not long enough or does not have a consistent length, it will be returned as roving.
As of 2024 we are no longer taking new wool clients due to an allergy.

*There is a Minimum Charge for small fleeces. We handle each fleece separately, so it doesn’t matter if your order is one fleece or ten.
*-2lb incoming weight minimum-anything under 2 lbs there’s a $15 set up fee. Fleeces/orders under 1 lb finished weight will be charged for a minimum of 1 lb-

* Coning: putting your yarn on cones add $2.50 per cone. You can get a $0.50 credit for every cone returned.
* Blending-blending fee $3 per pound plus cost of blending fibers if you do not provide your own. Contact us for our current selection and pricing for blending fibers.
*We also raise animals, and expect some vegetable matter (VM) in the fiber, but fiber with “a lot” of VM will be an additional $3.00 per incoming pound due to wear and tear of our machines. Fiber with excessive amounts of VM will be refused.
Credits Available
*$0.50 credit per usable cone returned *$2.50 per finished lb for fiber sent to the mill pre-washed. If prewashing your fiber it must be grease free or it will have to be re-washed. Do not use conditioners when prewashing-if you need you can add a bit of vinegar to your final rinse. I will inspect each fleece as it is checked in to make sure they are clean enough to run through our machines.
