Just for information, The Border Mill will process small quantities of fleece, down to a single precious fleece. It does get more expensive to have a single fleece processed than say ten because the set up time for the machinery is the same, but it can be done.
http://www.thebordermill.co.uk/Seven fleeces would be no problem but remember that they will charge extra to say skirt the fleece properly, and to sort the fleeces for cotted or stained areas. Also remember the old saying of rubbish in, rubbish out, don't waste your money by sending in dirty fleeces that are full of vegetation and/or second cuts. Poor quality fibre will give poor quality yarn, and to add insult to injury it will cost more to produce than when using good quality fibre to make good quality yarn.
Ryeland is decent fleece btw, but I wouldn't be attracted enough by seven fleeces of unknown quality that hadn't necessarily been shorn to hand spinner standards to feel I wanted to swap a full week of spinning time for them. Which sounds very precious of me I know! But even at national minimum wage that's ~£100 of work time (15 hours, as Sally suggests) , I can buy a good quality fleece from a reliable source that's been raised and shorn to spinner's standards for £10 or less.
Really, best thing to do if you raise sheep and want to get yarn from them is to learn to spin it yourself.
