Found On The Net: To Spin A Pig?

On our blog, we have seen reports of spinnable fibers from sheep, from Angora, Fuzzy Lop and Jersey Wooly rabbits, from Angora goats, from yaks, from Cocker Spaniel dogs, and from Curly Horse. Finally there is a pig that is good enough for spinning!

Three Mangalitza pigs have arrived at Essex Zoo in UK; they have wool that resemble the sheep wool; people call them the "sheep pig".

They are officially known as Mangalitzas and are native to Austria and Hungary, but do have a genetic link to the Lincolnshire curly coat, which roamed British fields until they went extinct in 1972.
