Payment & Billing
You will need to send a non-refundable $50 deposit when you schedule your processing order. This reserves your space & will be applied to your bill unless you cancel. If you cancel, you forfeit the reservation deposit. Please send a deposit of 50% with your order. Once processing is complete we will bill you the other 50%. Payment is due before fleece/yarn is returned. Since storage space is limited, we appreciate prompt payment. You will forfeit any fleece or yarn not paid for within 60 days of processing.
Skeins
We do not charge extra for skeining your yarn. We will return your yarn in 300-yard skeins. If you would prefer a different size skein, please indicate it on the order form.
Washing
All incoming fiber is washed unless special arrangements are made beforehand. Please be aware that any fleece washed with conditioner or fabric softener must be re-washed. It gums up the machines and creates a mess. Please contact us for specific instructions on how to wash your fleece. We offer a discount of $2.50/pound for pre-washed fleece, provided it meets our requirements. Otherwise, we will re-wash and process at regular rates. See the FAQ section for more information on washing.
