FIBER PROCESSING PRICE LIST



  • The results of fiber processing depend on the quality of the fiber you bring us. 
    Fiber that is tender, that is, has a weak spot caused by stress, weather change, nutritional changes, lambing, etc. will not process well because of the likelihood that the fiber will break during the processing.  The machines can be tough on fiber.
         Fleeces that are heavily contaminated with dirt, dung, burrs, prickers, sticks, pine needles ( yes, they do arrive in that state) or vegetable matter require lots of effort to salvage enough for processing.  This means more cost to you.  Simple skirting of a fleece (edges, belly wool) adds $5.00 per fleece to your cost.  More extensive skirting and picking over the whole fleece to salvage it will cost an additional $50.00/hour for us to do that for you. 
         Please, if you can, bring only the good stuff.  Skirt and pick over your fiber before it gets here.
