Title: Where can I send my fleeces?
Post by: Tish tosh on June 10, 2016, 07:24:21 am

Can anyone recommend somewhere where I can send my sheep fleeces to be processed? I need them to be washed and processed to the stage of balls of wool! I don't have the facilities or known how to do any of this at home. All the fleeces are free from pesticides. Thank you.

We use The Natural Fibre Company and are very pleased with the service

NFC very good but 20kg minimum.

Griffiths Mill excellent, anything from one fleece up.

Halifax Spinning Mill will also do any amount from one fleece up, and with him you pay on processed weight.

In all cases, send only very well-skirted good fleeces - it's a lot of money to pay to process poor fibre ;)
