Jane operates the Yolo Wool Mill, along with two wonderful employees. The mill processes scoured wool into finished products, including sliver, batting, roving, and various yarns. The mill specializes in processing customers’ wool to their order.
They use equipment purchased from eastern woolen mills and have the capabilities for both worsted and woolen carding and spinning.
Yolo Wool Mill can card your wool into sliver (a 1- to 2-inch thick strand of wool for handspinning), or batting (a sheet of wool in varying thicknesses to order, used for comforters, quilts, felt making, or stuffing). Additionally, combed roving and pencil roving are available processes for those wishing a smoother, more worsted-style preparation. They also specialize in French-combed top for a true worsted spinning preparation. Wool can be spun into single and two-ply yarns in a large range of sizes.
A variety of yarn spun in Jane’s mill appears in the Fibershed Marketplace.
