The Neurodivergent Cogitators & Creators
Guides & Learning
ADHCrafts guides are designed to make fibre crafts, fleece processing and fibre decisions easier to understand.
Whether you have your first fleece, are learning to spin, want to understand fibre suitability, or need help choosing between batts, rolags, roving and yarn, this section brings the support pages together in one place.
You do not need to know all the fibre terms before you start. Choose the guide that matches where you are now.
Not sure where to start?
If you have fleece or fibre and are unsure what to do next, start with Fibre Suitability Assessment or What Can My Fleece Become?
If you already know the fibre may be usable and want to understand the options, move on to Choosing Yarn, Batts, Rolags or Roving.
If you want to understand how the enquiry process works before contacting ADHCrafts, read The Fibre Enquiry Journey.
If you are thinking about booking processing work, read Pricing, Yield & Fibre Loss Explained and From Flock to Finished Fibre before submitting your enquiry.

Fibre Suitability Assessment
Learn what ADHCrafts checks before processing fibre, including staple length, staple strength, vegetable matter, matting, second cuts, storage condition and likely best use.
This is a good place to start if you are unsure whether your fleece may be suitable for processing.
Read the suitability guide
What Can My Fleece Become?
Explore the main options for your fibre, including washed fibre, carded batts, rolags, roving, handspun yarn, sample processing, felting fibre and craft stuffing.
This guide is helpful if you know you have fleece but are not sure what the realistic outcomes might be.
Choosing Yarn, Batts, Rolags or Roving
A plain-English guide to the different forms fibre can take after preparation. This helps you understand whether batts, rolags, roving, sliver or handspun yarn might suit your project.
Good for customers who know they want usable fibre but are not sure what to ask for.
Pricing, Yield & Fibre Loss Explained
Understand why fleece processing prices can vary, why you usually get less fibre back than you send, and how dirt, grease, vegetable matter, matting, second cuts and weak fibre can affect yield.
This guide is useful before requesting a quote or booking a processing project.
The Fibre Enquiry Journey
This guide explains what happens when you start a fibre enquiry with ADHCrafts. It takes you through the early stages, from sharing your fibre details and photos through to review, next steps, booking confirmation and receiving an agreed start date or delivery window.
This is helpful if you want to understand the enquiry process before using the main enquiry page.
From Flock to Finished Fibre
Follow the ADHCrafts customer journey from first enquiry through fibre assessment, booking, labelling, preparation, processing, finishing and return.
This guide is useful if you want to understand how the full process works before starting an enquiry.
Alpaca & Llama Fibre Guide
Alpaca and llama fibre can behave differently from sheep wool. This guide explains key differences, including softness, guard hair, staple length, blending, preparation and realistic outcomes.
Useful for alpaca or llama owners who want to understand what their fibre might become.
Preparing Fibre After Booking
This guide explains what happens once a booking is confirmed, including labelling, sending or drop-off instructions, keeping fibre dry, and waiting for an agreed start date or delivery window.
This page is for confirmed or nearly confirmed customers, not for sending fibre before enquiry.
Guides designed for different brains and energy levels
ADHCrafts guides are created with accessibility in mind. They use clear sections, plain language, visual support, practical steps and space to pause.
The aim is to support neurodivergent and dyslexic learners, people managing chronic illness or limited energy, and anyone who finds long, dense craft instructions overwhelming.
You are allowed to go slowly. You are allowed to come back later. You are allowed to ask questions.
Deposits & Cancellations
Read the practical terms around deposits, cancellations, booking changes and when payments become non-refundable.
This is listed under Legal, but it is linked here because it is useful before confirming processing work.
