Frequently Asked Questions

An ideal length is 3-5 inches (7-13cm). If the staple length is any longer, it runs the risk of snapping through the carding process.

If you require a fleece that exceeds this length to be carded, please consider cutting it to an appropriate length. We reserve the right to return fleeces uncarded if we feel they are too long.

If you wish fleeces to be blended you will get the best results if you match the staple length and micron of the fleeces.

We will have fleece available for blending if you require it.

If your fleeces have been stored, please check for contamination (bugs, moths, moth eggs, mice etc) prior to sending fleeces in.

Turnaround time can vary, but we endeavour to get your fleece returned within 2-4 weeks.

The average loss through the carding process is 20-30%.

We have a minimum charge. All fleeces weighing less than 1kg will be charged out at the minimum 1kg price.

Postage and packing is additional to the prices on our price list.
