Slow Show Time = More Spin Time

There are less shows during the summer, that leaves more time for spinning.  Angora rabbits are multiple purpose animals, they are the kings and queens in the shows when in show coats, when they retire, their wool is useful in making beautiful yarn and products until the end.   Here are two skeins of pastel colored yarn made by Betty in the past few days.

Betty is known for making lumpy bumpy art yarns but once a while she also makes the regular two ply smooth yarn.  Here are two skeins of fawn two-ply made from her two fawn does: Fawnella and Fawnna.    Both are grand champions in retirement, Fawnella is 5-1/2 years old, mother of Multi Best In Show winners Zeeva, Zoey, Franchesca, Fawntasy and Donnica; Fawnna is 7 years old.    They make contribution in showing, in making future champions or providing beautiful wool for spinning.    Where else can one find better breeds than the Angoras.
