Are you dreaming of your very own yarn? Adagio Mills will make it happen.

Alpaca fleece processing services:

Adagio Mills are currently only processing Alpaca fleece but will be looking to process sheep wool, mohair and other natural fibres in the distant future. Please contact us for to discuss your processing needs.

Our capabilities:

We are able to Alpaca into Yarn, Rovings & Felted Batts from natural fibres.

We are able to process both Huacaya and Suri Alpaca fibres. 

The yarn can be supplied as Balls, Skeins or Cones.

We can blend different Colours.

Preparing your fleece:

We recommend the following;

• Ideal staple length for processing is 75 to 150mm.

• It is also important that your fibres are similar in length for the quality of the finished yarn, we recommend that the staple lengths be within +/-10mm,

• Separate and skirt saddle fleece, preferably at time of shearing, 

• Class, group or combine your fleeces for processing that have similar characteristics e.g. staple length, micron, etc when possible as this produces the best results,

• Remove as much vegetable matter, VM,  as possible as we will not be picking through your fleece. Some loose VM will come out at each step of the process however all burrs and VM locked into the fleece must be removed before processing,
