Frequently Asked Questions
What are the minimum order requirements?
They require a minimum of 20 pounds of raw fleece for processing individual orders. Orders below 20 pounds may be combined with other customers' fiber during slower processing seasons to meet minimums. The mill welcomes smaller operation inquiries and can discuss options for specialty projects or rare fiber types. Contact Kingdom Fleece and Fiberworks to confirm current minimum requirements for your specific fiber volume.
How long does processing take?
Standard processing turnaround ranges from 8-12 weeks depending on the time of year and current facility workload. Spring and fall typically see higher demand which may extend lead times. Custom dyeing services require an additional 2-3 weeks beyond standard turnaround for color development and setting. Contact Kingdom Fleece and Fiberworks to receive a personalized timeline estimate for your processing project.
What fiber types do they work with?
They process a diverse range of animal fibers including sheep wool from various breeds, alpaca fleece in both huacaya and suri varieties, llama fiber, mohair from Angora goats, and angora rabbit fur. Their equipment handles both fine fibers and coarser long-staple materials. Each fiber type requires specific processing parameters they have refined over years of operation. Contact Kingdom Fleece and Fiberworks to discuss your specific fiber type and processing requirements.
