So now we're in June, and I still haven't sent off my fibre to turn it into tops or roving. In fact I'm chucking out a lot and ..... sssshhhhh.....burning it
Not something I would normally do, but I was totally swamped. Some of the bags went back to 2007, and the moths had definitely got to those, so they would have been burnt anyway. The more recent stuff had stored ok, but wasn't very appealing.
For mill carding/combing, I will use only fleeces from last year and this - and we still have to get through most of the shearing. I'm more organised now as I have my wool shed to do the sorting in, with a nice big table.
However, looking on the Natural Fibre Co website, I can't find any guides to prices. They do say that prices are calculated according to the specific job, but unless I have some idea I can't just send it off and hope it doesn't break the bank. It used to be that there was a set price scale.
So, has anyone had work done there recently?
I have explored the mills mentioned earlier, but they seem to be more specialised, and more expensive. So I'm not much further forward than I was when I started this post in Feb
