That is sooo cool! I met a woman at a craft fair a few years back and she had a couple of huskies. I was amazed at how beautiful her yarn was that she was spinning from the hair. She also raises angora rabbits and had some hats and gloves made with the yarn from rabbit hair.

They are beautiful! Two of my sisters had looms, but they never spun their own yarn.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Nice work, Cis, I'm impressed! Do you find it difficult to divide your time between cooking and spinning/knitting? I love to cook and I love to sew. Years ago I had to make a choice. Do one for a living, keep the other as a hobby. Still take sewing clients but never find the time.

Beautiful work!

This is kind of funny - years ago, I sewed professionally and just burned myself out. I don't even enjoy quilt making now. BUT, I never burned out with the cooking. strange.
