Important Information

Preparing Your Fleece to Send:  Fiber must be a minimum of 2 inches and a maximum of 6 inches in length. Minimum Order 3 Pounds (runs less than 3 pounds will be charged at the 3 pound rate).  Your fiber will be evaluated for staple length, vegetation and cleanliness. We reserve the right to reject any fiber deemed unsuitable for processing.  Be sure to put your contact info and fleece description in every bag.  Do not combine fleeces.  We check each fleece to make sure it does not have tender spots which would effect the quality of your end product.  Include our Order Form with each order.  Any orders that do not specify will be processed into 2 ply yarn and skeined in 2 ounce hanks.  See below for shipping tips.

How To Estimate Your Deposit To estimate how much deposit you need to submit, just take the number of pounds of fiber that you need processed and multiply by $30 to get the amount of the deposit.  Once we receive your 50% deposit, your fiber will be put on the production schedule.  We will contact you with an estimate of the final cost.

Shipping: Shipping is expensive!  Here's a few tips to help you get the most for your shipping dollar.  Shippers like USPS and UPS determine the shipping charge by weight, size of the box and speed of delivery.  You do not have options about the weight of your fleece, but you can control the size of the box and delivery time.  First, squeeze or vacuum as much air as you can out each bag of fleece bag to reduce the box size needed for shipping.  Package your fleece tightly in a sturdy box.  You will be surprised at how much fiber you can get into one box!  Be sure to securely tape all the way around the box on all sides to prevent a blow out during shipment.  Determine how fast you need the fiber to get to us.  Barring any fiber emergency, standard mail would be fine.  Sometimes it is cheaper to send 2-3 day Priority mail than 7-10 day Parcel Post so ask your favorite mail clerk. 

The Fine Print: All services require a 50% deposit before being added to the production schedule. Once the deposit has been received, you will be added to the production calendar and given an approximate completion date. Upon completion of your order, we will send you a final invoice. Final payment must be received prior to shipment of your products.  State of Kentucky residents please add 6% sales tax to total order amount. Your products will be shipped to you once your payment is received. Outstanding accounts will be assessed a 5% charge on any balance due over 30 days and for each additional 30 day period the account goes unpaid. Fiber/yarn from accounts unpaid after 90 days will become the property of Flaggy Meadow Fiber Works.  Prices subject to change without notice.
