Spinning advice and information sheets
We do as much as we can to advise our suppliers and customers and have produced a number of files which can be downloaded.
If you are storing fleece before sending it to us for processing, remember that it will be preserved better if it is washed. Download the file advice on washing raw fleeces.

To find out more about washing hanks of yarn before knitting, download the file advice on washing hanks of yarn and knitted goods. Precisely how you proceed may depend on whether the yarn is to be hand or machine knitted.
Those selling wool need to remember that they have to comply with the Weights and Measures (Packaged Goods) Regulations 2006. Balls of wool are usually 50, 100 or 200 grams and the weight sold has to fall within given tolerances. For more details download our file length of wool in a ball or hank.
