Product customization

- For each animal: its name, mean micron and fineness class for the species (alpaca, llama, mohair, cashmere, sheep).
- Results are in your customer account.
- This is a sorting measurement, not a full assessment: no detailed PDF report, no SD or CV, no histogram, profile, herd summary or advice. If you are selecting breeding stock, the full analysis gives you all of this.
Our method
Same measurement as the full analysis: OFDA 2000, in-house method derived from IWTO-47, herd correction factor from one washed sample, Trim High ON (fibres above 80 µm left out), daily checks under our quality charter.
Taking the sample
Mid-side, a small handful about two fingers wide, i.e. about 5 cm, cut close to the skin, in a paper bag labelled with the animal's name, with the information sheet (PDF).
Turnaround: 1 to 2 weeks after receipt, up to 1 month during shearing season.
Sample return: if you would like your samples back after analysis, tick "Return my samples after analysis (+€12 per order)" just before the Add to cart button. Only one return is charged per order, whatever the number of animals or analyses.

OFDA 2000 fibre test - Fibre Lab metrological control programme (charter v3.0)
Measurement on the OFDA 2000 in staple mode, using an in-house method derived from IWTO-47. Documented internal checks every test day and for every batch. Internal metrology control programme - in-house method derived from IWTO-47. Rigor rests on the procedure below.
How we stand behind the result
- Daily OFDA 2000 autotest on internal calibration fibres (10-100 µm). Outside manufacturer tolerance = no client testing.
- One batch reference staple (max deviation 0.3 µm on mean diameter).
- Weekly inter-series check on archive samples (same 0.3 µm threshold).
- Options always shown on the report: washing, correction factor, Trim High.
- If a check falls outside limits: testing stops until control is restored.
A result is only meaningful if the process is the same from one batch to the next. Our charter describes that process.
