Custom Processing

Want us to process your fibre?

Thanks for allowing us to add value to your fibre. If we have processed fibre for you before, just fill out the form at the bottom of this page or contact us directly by phone or email. Special pricing is available for larger batches.

If this is your first time bringing us fibre, we would love to process a batch for you that is less than 5 kgs or 2 fleeces. We charge a minimum of $100—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. Since skirting removes a lot of weight and contaminants from the fleece, 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—you wouldn’t be happy with the results if we did.

Packaging your wool in clear plastic bags allows us to quickly identify your wool when we take it out of storage, and makes it easier to spot problems early. We will not accept fibre in black garbage bags.

Please fill out the Intake Form as completely as possible. When we receive your form, we will let you know what your scheduled date is for processing and outline any next steps.

Dropping off and picking up your fibre at the mill are your responsibility. We might be able to arrange shipping, but you will probably be able to find a better deal 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 (2026)

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

Roving & Batts $46/kg

Yarn

Fingering/Sport weight (2- or 3-ply) $86/kg

DK/Chunky weight (2- or 3-ply) $75/kg

Lopi-style (single-ply) $66/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.
