Rug Yarn Maker on the Way
For years we've been told by our customers "you need a rug yarn maker". Well now we have answered your pleas. One has been ordered and is on it's way.
As with the rest of our yarns, we have based our rug yarns on return weight. Meaning we will charge you for what you receive in return and the price is $17/lb. That said we must limit our yarn production to firsts and seconds only, no thirds will be run. It is not cost effective to run thirds and you really don't want yarn made out of that crusty stuff anyway.
We will be using a natural (alpaca and wool mill ends) or a small cotton core. It has been our experience that smaller cores feel better at your project's end. No one wants to feel that core under their feet, nor does anyone want to pay their bill and find out that most of the rug yarn weight is some sort of binder twine.
Please go to www.lazymeadoesalpacas.com to find backlog times, mill forms can be found under the fiber mill section.
