Small Batch Fiber Processing

What Does Small Batch Processing Mean?

Unlike large commercial mills that combine fibers from multiple customers to process large volumes at once, we work in small batches. This allows us to keep your fiber separate throughout the process and give it the individual attention it deserves.

Small batch processing helps preserve the unique characteristics of your fiber, whether that's the softness of alpaca, the luster of mohair, or the crimp of fine wool. It also gives us greater flexibility to accommodate custom blends and special requests.

At Moe Acres, your fiber isn't just another number in a production line. We treat each fleece as if it were our own.

How it works

1. Send Your Fiber

Package and ship your fiber to Moe Acres. Be sure to clearly label any fibers that should be kept separate or blended together. We recommend removing excessive vegetable matter and debris before shipping whenever possible.

2. We Wash & Prepare

Once your fiber arrives, it is carefully washed, dried, and prepared for processing. Our goal is to preserve the natural character of your fleece while creating a clean, workable fiber for the next stage. Please make sure you completed the needed forms.

3. We Transform Your fiber

Your fiber is transformed into beautiful batts or roving using our small-batch processing equipment. Looking for finished yarn? Through our partnership with local fiber artist Kelsey, your processed fiber can also be spun into custom yarn.

4. We Return Your Finished Fiber

Once processing is complete, your fiber is carefully packaged and shipped back to you. Whether you're spinning, felting, weaving, knitting, or preserving a special fleece, your fiber will arrive ready for its next chapter.

Our Services

Fiber Washing


Every fleece begins with a thorough wash to remove dirt, dust, and excess debris while preserving the natural qualities of the fiber. Clean fiber is the foundation of a beautiful finished product.

Fiber Picking


After washing, fiber is picked to open the locks, remove remaining debris, and prepare it for carding. This step helps create a more uniform and workable fiber.

Batt Processing


Batts are soft, lofty sheets of carded fiber that are ideal for felting, spinning from the fold, blending, and a variety of fiber arts. Batts are available in natural colors or custom blends provided by the customer.

Roving Processing


Roving is a continuous rope of carded fiber ready for spinning, felting, weaving preparation, and other fiber projects. This is one of the most popular options for fiber artists and hand spinners.

Custom Fiber Blending


Have multiple colors or fibers you'd like combined? We offer custom blending based on your specifications. Fibers must be clearly labeled and prepared prior to processing.

Custom Spinning


Looking for finished yarn? Through our partnership with local fiber artist Kelsey, processed fiber can be transformed into custom-spun yarn. Contact us for current spinning options, pricing, and availability.
