Things to keep in mind for the 2025 wool collection.

• The area we have to work in is very small so please be prepared plus we have to be done & out of there by 2pm. Please do not arrive late (ex. 12:30 with a boat load of wool.) Done & out means wool bags sewn up, labeled, stacked on the upper level of the barn, equipment put away and floor swept, list of bags by color, pounds, how many bags total and a picture taken of all of them.
• Please provide number of fleeces and approx. weight so we can allot the proper amount of time for you. White or Natural Color will be helpful as well.
• Please keep wool from Black faced breeds of sheep separate as has to be counted as Natural Colored.
• YOUR WOOL ABSOLUTELY MUST BE SKIRTED AHEAD OF TIME. We spent way too much time again in 2024 inspecting fleeces.
• Your fleeces should be skirted well enough to dump from the bag. We give it a yes or a no and off the the scale to be packed it goes! (We rejected alot of wool again last year because producers didn’t do a good job skirting.)
• Make sure it is at least 2.5″ long with a maximum 6″. (Wool from dual coated breeds must be separated so as only to have the softer undercoat, NO guard hairs, no kempy wool.) We do not accept wool classified as Carpet wool. Check it for wool break.
• We are still working diligently to find options for larger sizes.
• In order to process custom orders, mill requires a minimum of 1800 lbs so please we barely squeaked by this past year.
• Sizes available will be Queen, Full and Long Throw. The Lap Throw is now done out of house and cannot be guaranteed to be finished to ship with the rest of the order so to make things simple we will not be ordering them.
• Email Sylvia: smurray@ctsheep.com with your poundage, and any other questions.
