These washed up into beautiful, if somewhat matted fiber. One bag went from solid tan to shiny white with 8 inch long locks. The second is grey, and very soft. The goats were only shorn once last year. This is going to keep me plenty busy. I'm happy the pencil roving has a good home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28560582.post-40194932082111802042009-01-18T21:14:00.000-06:002009-01-18T21:14:00.000-06:00Modified pattern? 2 skeins?

I'm with you about people's bad attitudes. <BR/><BR/>And Michelle has it right... there are angora goats (do a google search), and they make the most lovely mohair.

Cashmere is not a breed but the downy inner fiber that almost all goats EXCEPT angora goats produce in greater or lesser amounts. Pygora goat (a breed developed from crossing pygmy goats with angora goats) fiber is usually marketed as just that - "pygora."Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28560582.post-66991276092273144762009-01-17T22:34:00.000-06:002009-01-17T22:34:00.000-06:00So glad you're on the mend.

I know well that feeling of being so happy it's done that you just want to tell the world, "I ATE SOLID FOOD TODAY!"<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see the yarn all dyed. I do think that there angora goats and they are not the same as cashmere goats. But I'm no expert. There are also pygora goats, which a very little, but good for fiber. Maybe that's short for Pygmy Angora?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278529449974055377noreply@blogger.com
