Fibre Processor Glossary (50 KB)
%100 means: Will process 100% Alpaca, as long as it is suitable for the process. For weaving and knitting, this might depend on the strength of the yarn. For spinning, length, micron and quality will all play their part. In all cases, discuss this with the processor.
For more information, please contact the individual business. AANZ does not recommend any business or warrant the quality of its services.
