The quality of your yarn depends upon the quality of your fiber. Sorting can be done by micron, color and fiber length. From the yarn spinning viewpoint, length is most critical for us. Fibers of different lengths in the lot cause slubs and boucles, making for lumpy looking yarn. Therefore, it is import to have fiber lengths within the lot as close to one length as possible.

Your fiber will determine the end product you get. For roving we will always try a coil first, however, some fibers will not hold together to do this. If this is the case with your fiber, you may receive roving in a bag, batts, or webs. Some fibers may require the addition of wool for processing into yarn. We will contact you if your fibers require the addition of wool.
