Czech Frosties & Satin Angoras ..........................740-623-0324 somerhill @ earthlink.net
Saturday, January 31, 2009
The UARC board is working on a project to offer a wool co-op to members who would like to have roving made with their angora. This is a sample of our first test run - I got an ounce to try, and spun it into a 58 yard skein. It took me 1.25 hours spin and ply it. Its 85% angora, and 15% finewool blended. With that much angora in the blend, its hard to tell the difference in touch from my 100% skeins. The skein will be on display at the PA state convention - hopefully the roving will be available to purchase, too.
