Custom Processing

Want us to process your fibre?

Thanks for allowing us to add value to your fibre. To get into our queue, just fill out the form at the bottom of this page or contact us directly by phone or email. We will let you know the next steps and confirm the dates we have scheduled your fibre.

To keep room in our schedule for you and all your friends, we will limit batch sizes 5 kgs or less. For small batches, we charge a minimum of $150—the itemized price list can be seen below. All payments are due before the end product leaves our mill.

Our pricing is based on the weight of the fibre when it arrives here. Please skirt your fleeces thoroughly before bringing them in—it saves you money and results in a better end product. We will not process fleeces with excessive veggie matter, manure tags, or felted areas. Here is a short video that shows the basics of how to skirt your fleece.

Please package your wool in clear plastic bags—we will not accept fibre in black garbage bags. A clear bag lets us see your identifying label and quickly spot problems like mould or moths.

Dropping off and picking up your fibre at the mill are your responsibility. If you choose to use mail or courier, you will need to pay for that yourself.

All payments are due before the end product leaves our mill. Once we email or text you that your processing is complete, please pick up your yarn as soon as possible—our storage space is limited. If a balance is left owing longer than 60 days on fibre processing, that fibre will become the property of Austin Woollen Mill.

Custom Fibre Milling Pricing (2027)

**prices will be calculated based on incoming weight**

Roving & Batts $53/kg

Yarn

Fingering/Sport weight (2- or 3-ply) $99/kg

DK/Chunky weight (2- or 3-ply) $86/kg

Lopi-style (single-ply) $76/kg

Processing fibre always results in some waste. Usually between 25%-50% of the weight is lost, but sometimes more. This loss is the result of dirt and grease being washed away, and fleeces with excessive veggie matter and dung tags will lose even more.
