-
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.
-
Please remove all dung tags, VM, sticks or
other foreign debris, heavily matted fiber and second cuts. Second
cuts may be processed separately for many uses. If you would like
help determining how much to skirt please contact us. We’d be happy to
help determine how best to process your fleece.
-
If you would like to see 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 "waste" back to you.
-
Blending is a separate process usually done
at the picker. However, depending on the effect you desire, blending
can take place elsewhere in the process. For information about the
specific types fiber we have available for blending, please contact us
at 608-543-3933 or email
kristi@argylefibermill.com.
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 order is
complete, the processed fiber becomes the property of the Argyle Fiber
Mill as agreed liquidated damages. Last updated:March 25, 2011.
