Wool Carding

 

We'll card your wool in the historic Birkeland Carding Machine, producing a fluffy batt approximately 5' by 6' in size.

Before bringing in your wool:

  1. Wash your wool to remove all of the lanolin (until it no longer feels greasy to the touch). For tips on washing wool please see our Washing Raw Wool Tutorial.
  2. Pick and tease the wool to remove as much vegetable matter and lumps as possible. The wool must be free of lumps before taking a trip through the carding machine.
  3. Bring it to us and we'll card it into a batt. Price is per weight per batt.

New: We can skirt, wash and pick the wool for you!

Note:

  • To card or re-card old wool, some new material may need to be added. This will rejuvinate the wool, brightening the product, adding bounce and increasing longevity. We will not add new wool without consulting you.
  • Our carding machine cannot handle wool from Alpaca, Llama, Yak, or other animals very well. We regret we can only card wool from sheep at this time.
