From Raw Fleece to Finished Product

The Path to Completion

Once your fibre has undergone its full processing sequence—including mandatory scouring, opening, and spinning—we will issue a final invoice. This occurs only when the order is ready, ensuring you receive a balanced, professional-grade product that is ready for your next project. Final payment is due upon receipt of the invoice or at the time of pick-up.
