Pricing
Let’s keep it simple!
Instead of having fees for every stage of processing, pricing is straightforward & simple.
NO WEIGHT MINIMUMS REQUIRED!
We require no minimum order or batch size, but must charge for a 1 pound minimum.
*Note if your yarn order is less than 2 lbs., there may not be enough fiber to get the correct roving size for spinning.
These prices are all inclusive - all processing needed to get from raw fiber to finished product is included in the price.
PRICING (unless noted) is based on OUTGOING weight!
Email, call or text for special requests, recommendations or if you have any questions about the suitability of your fiber for processing. [email protected] or (919) 522-4110
