Please attach our ORDER FORM to your order.

FREE skeining of your yarn at 240 yds. If you want less than 240 yds per skein, add $1.00 per skein for extra handling. We steam your skeins to set the twist. Winding onto a CONE is FREE... but your yarn's twist will not be set with steam.

I am attaching two articles which will help every fiber breeder. One is for wool and the other is for alpaca/llamas. It has helped many fiber breeders to prepare a better fleece for mill processing.

Wool: http://www.icelandicsheep.com/Winters_work.htm This is from Tongue River Icelandics and is very good! Scroll down to "Procedures" at the bottom of the page.

Alpaca/Llamas: http://www.shadyhaven.com/harvest%20fleece.htm This is from Vanessa Kessler's wonderful website. What makes a good fleece for either show competition or for sending to a mill to be spun is the blowing of dirt and hay from the fiber before shearing... I shear my own alpacas and this also helps to keep the clipper blades sharper for a longer length of time. Your shearer will thank you.

NOTE: Skirting your fleece for yarn processing is more precise than for rovings. We need the very best of the fiber to make yarn. Second cuts and a short staple length make for a poor yarn. The mill's spinning machine can only have a deviation of 2 inches between the shortest staple to the longest staple, otherwise the short staple gets pulled through at a faster rate with no control and this causes slubbing. Please be aware of approximately a 25% fiber loss when processing into yarn. Our large spinning machine spins fibers between 3" to 6" for the best quality yarns. Fiber shorter than 3" causes a "thick and thin" type yarn.
