Mill Services (by appointment only)
Full Mill Services are available Urban Dreams Farm by appointment. Be sure to contact us at the cellphone or email listed if you wish to utilize our services because we are selective with which orders we accept. Our goal is to keep the orders taken in low so that processing time is reasonable. We like to specialize in small orders to support the small farmer and take great pride in the product(s) produced. At this time we can process wool, alpaca, pygora, angora, and mohair. We can offer blending services as well. So, if you want your alpaca to have wool, or another fiber (ex., mohair for strength) we can provide the necessary fiber (at an additional charge). Please contact us for more details.
We reserve the right to refuse any job at any stage during processing.
All orders are kept in vacuum sealed bags until processing is begun.
The mill is located on a working farm and therefore we are not always by the phone. Text or email are the best way to reach us.
By placing your completed order with us you agree that any orders not picked up with-in 60 days become the property of Urban Dreams Farm. The customer agrees to pay for shipping if that is the desired way to receive completed orders.
