Hoof-to-Hanger quality begins with fine fibers.Fiber cleaning is easily the most misunderstood part of fiber processing.Fine finished products cannot be created from contaminated fibers.We are experts in fiber cleaning.We take exceptional care in hand picking, skirting, and washing fiber.This part of processing takes from several days to several weeks to complete.Our standards include:

• Reasonable fiber cleanliness is required upon delivery.

Excessive VM/debris will incur additional skirting (sorting) charges

• Reasonably skirted (sorted) fleeces are expected.

Obvious trash in fleeces can easily be eliminated by basic skirting at home.

• Certain fibers require additional cleaning and attention to processing.

Fine fibers (Suri, Pygora, etc) require additional wash cycles and slower processing.

• Certain fibers will be blended for improved fiber processing / quality.

Exceptional care is taken to decrease fiber loss / increase fiber quality/quantity.

Some fiber types require attention beyond our reasonable capabilities.
