Description
|
Price per pound
|
| Skirting |
Cleaning out vegetable matter (VM), dung tags, etc. If
the fleece requires skirting, based on our inspection, we will notify you
first. We would prefer that our customers carefully skirt their
fleece first, since we would rather get right to processing fleece and
not be delayed by skirting. |
$20.0/Hr. We work fast but excessive debris in fiber may
require this process |
| Washing |
Washing is based upon incoming weight. We use a
specialized washer with very slow cycling to care for your fleece and
prevent felting. |
$4.00/Lb. per wash |

- * Spinning prices include
blending, carding, drafting, spinning and plying a 2-ply yarn. Three and four
ply yarns can be made for DK, Worsted and Bulky only, for an additional
$1.00/lb. Weight loss will vary depending on cleanliness of the fiber. All
charges are based on the incoming weight of wool/fiber. Yarn will be put up
on cones; however, if you wish your yarn to be packaged in skeins, we‘d be
happy to for an additional $1.50/lb.
- Please do not use cream rinse or conditioners if you wash your own fiber as this gums up our equipment.
- We reserve the right to re-wash any fiber at our discretion. We will contact you prior to doing this, of course.
- We charge for skirting (see price list) fleece that is not skirted
properly when we receive it. We will contact you before we incur this
expense. Please remove all dung tags, large stems, sticks or other foreign debris, heavily soiled areas as well as second cuts.
Second cuts may be processed separately for many uses. If you would like help determining how much to skirt or even how to
skirt, please contact us. We’d be happy to help determine how best to
process your fleece.
- If you would like to see just what each machine will be removing from your fiber, let us know and we’ll
bag it up and send it with your final product. Unless otherwise instructed, we
do not return ship "waste" or "lost" fiber and material back to you. While we
watch these machines in action,
processing what we
thought was ‘clean’ wool, we are amazed at how much dirt and debris may still be in it.
Some fleece is valuable enough to consider running through the machines a second
time. We'll contact you in advance if this seems to be the case.
- "Blending" is a separate charge that is determined per order,
such as blending your supplied fiber with stock fiber we have available.
Please call us at 608-543-9331 or email

All prices are subject to change without notice. In the event of non-payment or
failure to make suitable arrangements within 30 days after notification that
your fiber order has been processed, the processed fiber becomes the property of
the Argyle Fiber Mill as agreed liquidated damages. Last updated:
