Fleece Yield & Yarn Calculator
Estimate clean fleece yield, yarn yardage, and felting area from raw fleece weight
Input Details
Dual-purpose breeds. Good balance of meat and wool production.
Notes
- •Clean yield estimates assume average grease and vegetable matter content for each breed type. Individual fleeces vary — weigh after scouring for precision.
- •Yarn yardage is a guide based on standard spinning ratios. Handspun yarn varies significantly with spinner technique, twist angle, and single vs. plied construction.
- •Felting area assumes wet felting with firm agitation. Needle felting and nuno felting ratios differ considerably.
