Processing/Pricing
Scour/Wash ONLY
$12/lb. (includes pre-wash picking to separate fibers for
a more thorough wash)
No minimum weight requirement, however,
there is a 2 lbs. min. charge per fleece.
All charges based on incoming weight.
The scouring process may include a pre-soak, two washes, then two rinses along with water extraction — no agitation — to remove dirt and lanolin/oils. Depending on dirt and oils, there may be another wash. (Note: washing will not take out straw, burs, chip, or vegetable matter.)
If you bring in fiber that has been washed, we will do a test wash and will likely need to rewash to remove all residue, in which case there will
be an additional charge of $12/lb.
We use Power Scour because it is environmentally friendly,
protects our animals and reduces residue in the fiber.
Make sure your fleeces are well skirted, or we can skirt for
you at $25/hour.
Previously washed wool – on the left, note the residue in the water.
Image on the right – see how clear the rinse water is. No residue.
Carding
$25/lb. — Sheep
$26/lb. — Alpaca
Batts (approx. 18 inches wide by 4 feet long — thickness
determined by weight)
Roving (approx. 1 inch dia.) loose in a bag or wound into
a log-shaped “bump.” Bumps vary in weight from
approximately 4 – 7 oz depending on the fiber.
Clouds are just as the name infers, a soft fluffy cloud of fiber.
If the fleeces are multi-colored, we can separate the colors prior to processing at an additional cost of $15/fleece.
Sheep can be blended with other fibers that you supply.
We are unable to separate or dehair fiber so we cannot accept multi-coated fibers.
Blending
We have alpaca, natural colors that can be used to blend with your fiber. The cost for alpaca for blending ranges from $3 – $6 per oz depending on the quality and color chosen.
Colors available are white, black, dark brown, rose grey, silver grey, and fawn.
If you bring in other fibers to use for blending, there is a $4/lb blending fee.
