| Shetland wool can be hand processed or processed
commercially.
In commercial processing, mill requirements and capabilities vary from
mill to mill. Check with the mills listed for their
specifications and prices.
Fleece 3-6" is usually suitable for processing into a worsted style yarn.
Fleece over 6" may have to be processed by a specialty mill or may have to
be cut by a mill in a special machine before processing.
Fleece from 2–4" is usually suitable for processing into a woolen style yarn.
Broken or tender fleeces may make good felting batts
but generally do not spin well. |
