This weekend I am doing something new. I am blending the fur from Hazel with the wool from Pearl to make a blended hand processed and spun yarn. Not sure if I'm doing it right, but very excited to see the result after plying, wash and dry. I am on the second bobbin right now. I am using 80% wool to 20% angora, will see how that works out.
