Angora and Shetland Blend Yarn

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.

Our Pearl

Hazel after clipping.  I was more focused on getting good clean clips without short pieces than a nice clean shear, which is why she appears so choppy

Here is Audie out of Itasca X Nitro, she was born on 4/28/18.  Beautiful black based ewe lamb, hurrah!

We just took off her coat prior to photo, so the little tuft of britch wool looks like a funny tail.  It's not.

2018 Lamb - Cokie

Odds were not in our favor in 2018 goal to get more black based lambs.

If you are trying to guess our naming convention for 2018 lambs, this is probably the most unique and revealing name in the group!
