PRICES ARE NOT ACCUMLATIVE! For example: A Felt sheet is only$22 per pound (all previous steps are included at the $22 dollar price with no additional charge)

Lot fee is a $20 charge for any size lot. Lots under one lb. will be charged at the one pound charge.

*Fleece longer than 6" staple length requires an additional resizing charge of $2.00/Lb

2 ply yarn is standard. It is $1.00 per lb for each additional ply requested.

Confused on pricing? Here is a single lot example. I want 10 lbs of white alpaca processed into 2 ply sport weight yarn. After processing, there is 9 lbs of sport weight yarn made (less dirt and hay). Therefore, my price is $29 times 9 lbs. which is $ 261 plus one lot fee of $20 for a total of $281. My yarn will come standard on cones ready for machine knitting.

Another example for multiple lot. I want 2 animals processed into lace weight yarn. Each animal is 5 lbs. After processing I have 9 lbs of lace weight yarn. Therefore my price is $33 times 9 lbs. which is $297 and two lot fees at $20 ea. since I wanted each animal kept separate for a total of $337. My yarn will come standard on cones ready for machine knitting.
