Frequently Asked Questions
What are the minimum order requirements?
Oregon Wool & Fiber Mill has a 2 pound minimum charge per fleece for all processing services. While there is no strict minimum weight requirement for total fiber volume, each individual fleece incurs this minimum charge. Additional fees apply for extra handling such as debris removal at $30 per fleece, semi-matted fiber at $5 per pound, and color separation at $15 per fleece. Contact Oregon Wool & Fiber Mill to discuss your specific order requirements.
How long does processing take?
The website does not specify exact turnaround times for fiber processing. Processing time may vary based on the fiber condition, season, and current workload. Contact Oregon Wool & Fiber Mill directly to discuss your project timeline and receive a more accurate estimate for your specific processing needs.
What fiber types do they work with?
Oregon Wool & Fiber Mill processes sheep wool, alpaca (both Huacaya and Suri), llama, and other fine fibers. They handle fibers ranging from 3 to 12 inches in length. Shorter fibers can be processed into clouds or batts. The mill cannot process dog hair due to typically being too short for their equipment, and they cannot remove guard hair from multi-coated animals. Contact Oregon Wool & Fiber Mill to discuss your specific fiber type.
What services and products do they offer?
Oregon Wool & Fiber Mill offers scouring at $12 per pound, carding at $27 per pound for sheep wool and $28 per pound for alpaca and llama fibers. They produce core spun roving, batts, clouds, and bumps. Blending services are available with their alpaca fibers at $4-6 per ounce or customer-supplied fiber at $4 per pound. Skirting services are available at $25 per hour. Contact Oregon Wool & Fiber Mill for complete service pricing.
Do they offer custom processing?
Oregon Wool & Fiber Mill specializes in small batch custom fiber processing tailored to customer specifications. They can process fiber to cloud, loose roving, or bumps depending on fiber characteristics. Multi-colored fleeces can be separated prior to processing for an additional fee. Core spun processing is available for shorter or older animal fiber that might otherwise be unusable. Contact Oregon Wool & Fiber Mill to discuss your custom processing project requirements.
