End of July Approaches
July 30, 2009
Well July is rapidly coming to an end. The Illinois State horse show is going well Nicole is having a blast. Fiber continues to roll into the mill and we are very grateful. We continue to get great positive feedback on the work we have been doing. To update you all, the mill is still running seven days a week. The response is and has been awesome over the last year as we continue to get new customers from all over the country. Just a reminder, good fiber processing revolves around the principal – it is all about staple length. Length does matter with our machines. Exotic fibers that are short must be blended with wool to assure processing. With some of the finer fibers like Merino, the longer the better. We never cut fiber to a certain size. I have been asked that because some mills do. We like longer stapled fiber.
For commercial spinning take the extra time to choose your best fiber for spinning you will be happy you did. Remember it is all about staple length.
