Since I've been back on my feet, I've been slowly catching up with grooming and cleaning in the rabbitry. This week, I clipped Timbuktu, Cyrenaica, and Sierra Leone, and bred both does to Tim. So now early next month, I'll be expecting 2 litters of Satin Angoras.
Tonight, I clipped Vendetta, and bred her to Benz, who was already clipped down. So a litter of French Angoras is on the way (I hope I hope) .
Tomorrow night, I have to start clipping Valhalla. Once he is finished, I need to check over Vidal, and then I am DONE clipping for a while, I think. There are a few juniors that need a thorough grooming, but that does not take long - maybe 10 minutes per bunny.
While clipping, I've also been spinning up the wool as I go. So after all that work, I just have one skein of white FA to ply, and a bag of fawn from Vendetta, and then I'm out of angora already.
