Now Available
Wool pelletizing
Price per pound for processing is $5
There is a 20 pound minimum for wool pelletizing due to the cleaning of the equipment after each order is completed
Wool that is not suitable for yarn can have a purpose! We can make wool pellets that are useful in gardens. Wool pellets are good for soil in that they hold moisture, are a slow release source of nitrogen, aerate compacted soil and are a natural slug repellent.
Alpaca can be used for pellets, but must be blended with wool in order to form proper pellets. We can supply wool, if necessary. This is a great use for your alpaca seconds and thirds!
Please ensure there are no sticks, stones, toenails or other hard objects in your wool as these will damage the equipment.
Our per pound prices are all based on incoming weight and are inclusive.
There are no hidden fees.
We want you to know what your bill will be before the work is begun. We are not offering any pre-washed discounts at this time. We have found that we frequently have to re-wash and charge for it which causes confusion.
NO MINIMUMS! Absolutely, without a doubt, we do not have a minimum.
There are no discounts for large batches, there are no extra fees for small batches. We have one price tier and it is the same for everyone.
We truly do cater to small farms. We also make every effort to personalize your yarn.
Do you want tweed, heathered, blended, 100% suri, individual yarns by animal, dyed fiber added…?
You tell me what you want, and I will do my best to make it happen. There are times when the fiber just will not do what we the people want it to do, in that case, I will contact you and you can decide what you would like done.
50% deposit required on orders over $500 before work is begun. Orders must be paid in full within 30 days of completion or they become the property of Windy Acres Fiber Mill.
