Raw & Washed Fiber Processing Services
Fiber Types & What they are best suited For...
Combed Tops
Zeilinger
Wool Co. can also make your fibers into a "worsted combed
top". During the processing of the fiber, all noils and
short fiber is removed. The end product leaves you with a perfect
parallel fiber. The advantage to a top is being able to spin
faster than a regular roving and a much finer or thinner yarn.
One of our customers even makes lace out of her "tops".
We recommend a 3" or longer staple. Wools that comb the
best are fine and medium wools. We also comb coarse wools and
blends of wool with mohair, alpaca, llama, etc. There is a greater
fiber loss due to a greater amount of processing. We need approximately
25 pounds of raw fiber or 15 pounds of washed fiber with complete
removal of all lanolin per lot in order to process your
wool into "tops". Please see below for "top"
pricing or if you would like more detailed information on "tops",
please call 1-989-652-2920.
Prices include, washing, carding/pricking and processing your fibers into combed tops.
Your raw wool's processed into COMBED TOP
16 - 28 lbs. per run at $14.00 per lb.

Super fine wools will noil or pill in the carding process. To avoid this we recommend combed tops to remove these noils and sharp fibers.
