Mill Services
Roving prices include: Washing, picking, conditioning, fiber separating (for removal of guard hair/second cuts if necessary), and carding. Roving can either be made into large sheets for hand felting or wound into spinning bumps.
Yarn prices include: All of the above, drafting, spinning, plying, steaming, skeining and skein washing to remove processing oils. Animals with a dual coat are automatically dehaired to create a better product. If dehairing is not desired, please let us know and 10% will be deducted from the processing costs. Icelandic wool is not dehaired.
Prices are based on weight upon arrival. Rates are per pound. All batches will be rounded to the nearest pound.

We are able to make corespun bulky yarn with a either a mop cotton core (for rug weaving) or a softer superwash merino core (for knitting). $25 per pound.
We are happy to create blends of any fibers you supply. There is a $15 fee for each blended batch. For example: 3 bags of wool and 1 bag of alpaca blended to an 80/20 wool/alpaca mix is one blended batch. Rates will be based on the fiber with the larger percentage of the blend. We do not have fibers for sale for blending purposes at this time.
Please note: We are a small mill and we love working with small farms- which is why we do not have a minimum order requirement. However, storage space within the mill is extremely limited. If your total order is 50 pounds or more, we will require either a deposit or a pre-arranged schedule for pick up and payment of batches as we work through the order. Payment in full is required within ten days of notification of order completion. After ten days, a storage fee of $30.00 will be applied. After 30 days of nonpayment, the order becomes the property of Skirted Fleece Mill and will be sold to recover processing costs.
At Skirted Fleece Mill, we are dedicated to creating a product that we are proud of and you will love. We reserve the right to refuse any fiber we do not feel can be made into a quality product.
