Spinderella's Fiber Mill- Carding Prices

1640 South 600 East * Salt Lake City~ UT * 84105 * 801.668.0563

We process your raw wool into roving. Though many companies charge based on incoming weight, from start to finish, we separate the cost for washing and carding differently. We feel this is the only fair way to charge you, as we have no idea what will be lost in washing, tumbling and carding. If you have washed your fibers, you will be charged the carding charge only.

MINIMUM CHARGE PER FLEECE IS TWO (2) POUNDS, we can card 4 ounces, but you will be charged for 2 pounds.

*Please understand that we can card less then 2 pounds per fiber run, but you will be charged for 2 pounds. A run is considered one fleece or one batch. If you send 10 pounds of 1 pound fleeces to be run separately, you will be charged for 20 pounds. Keep this in mind when you are sending fleeces and what you might want to blend to help with those minimum charges.*

Another way to save the 2 pound charges is to ask for your fibers to be run back to back without cleaning the carder in between each batch. This allows us to continue to work from one fleece to another. You will be charged for the lot as a whole amount, but you will see some contamination between fleeces.

Also note that there are times we are not able to card your fibers into a roving without the addition of wool. We do have these fibers available for purchase.

Washing

We charge the same base price for washing all fibers based on the incoming weight of your fiber. If your fibers require and extra wash or a few extra rinses to remove lanolin or dirt, we will add the charge to your bill and will note it on your invoice. Re-washing your fibers is also based on incoming weight and will be added to your invoice. Please check our washing instruction page to see how to wash your fleeces properly and save yourself the extra charges.

Please check out this short slideshow as to why we would have to rewash your fibers. We would prefer not to if given the choice. :o)
