We have been getting a lot of questions on skirting lately for our fiber mill and we welcome questions with open arms. Reason being, the more educated growers are about their fleeces and preparation for processing, the better we will be able to provide you with a beautiful product as a representation of your years worth of hard work raising your fiber animals! Our best advice to everyone is "the cleaner your fiber comes into the mill, the cleaner your end product will be!" & "when in doubt, throw it out." Throwing it out doesn't necessarily mean to the garbage or manure pile. There are plenty of uses for skirting as well (a topic for another day). Creating good yarns all starts in the barns/pastures and when the conditions are right, it shows in the end!
Clean fiber means a consistent, uniform yarn
