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

2018 Lambs - Soraya

Soraya is a white ewe (i don't know which from their lamb photo) from White Pines Reawick and Whispering Pines Oberyn.  Its been quite some time since we have had white ewe lambs here, so this was pretty exciting for us.
