Sample #32 Fiber: Silk/Angora Weight of Skein: 28 grams |
Appl: #1600203 |
||
Spinning Equipment Used:
Scotch Brake Flyer Wheel, Ratio 15:1| |
|||
Preparation for Spinning: The angora
was plucked, sorted by softness and color, and carded into small batts on cotton cards
then spun. fiber lengths were pulled from the silk top and sliver (individually) and
spun. Reason for choice of this sample: The angora was from my original bunny (now gone), he always produced wool that fluffed and didn't mat. The two silks were of the highest qualities and do not distract from the angora yet add luster and strength. |

The complexity of this yarn is lost when crocheted. To accent the yarn the most, you would weave with it as warp on a single twill or even just a tabby. |
