Our current turn around time is 12-24 weeks, depending on the processes you require, from the time your order arrives at Spinderellas Fiber Mill until the time we invoice you.
NEW CUSTOMERS : We ask that new customers make an appointment via email or phone call. Also understand that we make every effort to keep your order moving through, but we take care of our current customer base 1st since many of not all of them have been with us for 10 + years ( some since we opened the doors in 1995). We hope you understand.
We do not require a down payment, but will send an invoice via Square when your order is completed.
We will not ship until fiber is paid for. If you are local and dropping off fiber, we require an appointment. Call 801.668.0563.
Please fill out an ORDER FORM and place in the bags. If you have questions, please write to info@spinderellas.com.
We try to answer quickly. We also try to answer the phone, but often we cannot hear the phone in the mill.
We do not de-hair alpaca. If you believe in that process, we suggest you find a mill who does.
We have dedicated a webpage to describe in detail why we do not believe in de-hairing alpaca.
Fiber that contains bugs, eggs or too much vegetation for us to process will be thrown away unless you specify you want it back. Return shipping on all order is billed to you, processed or not.

We will skein the yard to our yardage at no charge which can be plus or minus 100 or so yards per skein.
If you are selling your yarn , we suggest getting counted skeins. It is a small price to pay to know exactly what the yardage is on your skeins.
We have priced our yarns based on the single we need to spin to obtain your finished yarn.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ADD MERINO TO ALPACA AND MOHAIR SPINNING ORDERS.
IF YOU DO NOT WANT MERINO ADDED TO YOUR FIBERS- LET US KNOW AND WE WILL SEND THE FIBER BACK AS ROVING.
Not sure what weight of yarn you want? Here is an easy way to figure it out.
Take a skein of commercial yarn you love working with and look at the wrapper. It will tell you approximate yardage for the weight. Many times it will have the yarn in grams. We round the grams to ounce.
Take the number of grams and convert to ounces
Equation: 16 divided by # of ounces x yardage will give you ypp.
Example: 204 yards is 50 grams
Take 16 ( ounces) and divide it by 1.76 ( ounces per 50 grams) = 9.09
Multiply 9.09 and the number of yards, in this case 204 = 1854 yards in one pound. ( our fingering)

Frequently asked questions
Do I get my own fiber back?
Yes- ALWAYS! That's why we call it custom processing. We process your natural fibers just for you the way you want it done. :-) We are always looking for ways to not only improve our techniques, but also coming up with "different" looks. We want you to STAND OUT in the crowd if selling your wares.
We also treat it as if it were our own fiber. Often we will contact you if we think there is a better process for your fibers.
Example- a coarser fiber you want to be lace weight yarn might be better spun as a thick single or rug yarn.
Can there be more charges?
Yes- here is a list of additional charges:
1. Extra Washing due to very dirty fibers - $2.50 incoming weight
2. Dyeing your fibers - $15 per batch based on the incoming weight - up to 4 pounds
3. Heavy VM Charge due to wear & tear of our machines - $2.50 per pound finished weight
4. Skirting your fibers- $2.50 per pound incoming weight
6. Twist yarn or roving - looks tweedy - $3 per pound finished weight
7. Addition of merino at current price of $1.88 per ounce - pound pricing available.
8. Addition of other fibers, call or write for pricing.
Remember, there is a 2 pound minimum charge on all processing charges

Who is Spinderellas Creations?
We are a small family owned and operated custom fiber mill and boutique. We are blessed to work from home since our youngest son is quadrupeligic and deaf. We are able to keep him home and care for him. We opened our doors in 1995, and have been a custom fiber mill with a desire to help ranchers with their fibers. We are constantly looking for new products to add value to the fibers you raise.
Terms and Conditions
Prices subject to change
All orders will be paid in full before leaving the mill
5% late fee, not less than $15, will be added after 7 days of sending your invoice
We guarantee our work 100% ! If you are not pleased with our work, contact us upon arrival of the order to your home via email info@spinderellas.com or phone 801.668.0563, with the reason(s) you are not satisfied with your order and we will make sure everything is worked out to your satisfaction.
Assurance for Quality Products Guarantee
We back our services 100%. Your satifation is of utmost importance at Spinderellas Creations
Jim is the Master Spinner at Spinderellas and personally guarantees to give you the best quality product possible from your fiber. Jim is able to look at a sample of yarn and match it with your fibers. It is best to send in a sample of the same fiber type, since each fiber spins differently. Understand that fibers are not all created equal and often you will not recieve a "perfect" store bought yarn. Jim usually writes on your order form reasons why this happened.
Jim and Lynn treat your fibers as if they were their own. Lynn may contact you to suggest other ways to use your fibers to optimize the uniquenss of your fibers. For instance, someone wanting yarn from a course fiber, may be better served as rug yarn.
If something doesn't go quite right, as it sometimes does when working with natural fiber, we will either discount or send the product back at no charge. Your satisfaction is important. We know if you cannot work with or sell the product(s) they are of no use to you. We promise we make it right
If you are ever disappointed with the quality of our work, we NEED to hear from you. We have no way of knowing unless you communicate with us! We also listen to you, a suggestion, another way of looking at things. That is how we all learn.
