Ooo~La~la......Sheer Luxury!

I finished up carding the Northern Lights roving and had enough of the dyed raw angora left over to do up a 1.4oz batt of roving by itself.....pure angora in all it's glory...yumm!!.  One of the things I have to demonstrate next week is spinning angora.  Having the carder makes it very easy for me, but for the novice spinner, angora can be tricky, as it lacks the "barbs" that wool has.  It can be slick.........but oh, how wonderful it is.

Now I can assure you, I will have at least a dozen people ask me if angora comes in this color naturally (cinnamin with green streaks)...aarrgghh!

This yarn when it is finished next week will be staying here for something special....two of my favorite colors combined....how can I resist??

Whether it is dyed or natural, in roving or on the bunny..........Angora is special stuff.  I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by such luxury every day.

Nordic Star-Light thinks so too!

I LOVE the bunnies! Goddess protect me from the bunnies! With all respect, really, Star Light looks like a lovely, cuddly, Kleenex-box cover.

The angora babes are just too cute! Everywhere I read, it's turning fall. At times like this I wish we have 4 seasons here. It's always either hot or wet here LOL

Well now - let the buns romp freely on some red clay soil and roll around in some easily crushed grasses... that would be sorta natural, right? ;)
