A couple of weeks ago, we showed how to dye red wool, see

This is a close up of the dried red wool shown in the above photo.

 

Using a slightly different color combination, here are some dried coral red wool....
 

... and some pink wool.
 

Putting together the red, coral red, pink and natural white Angora wool, with a lot of spinning, here are the art yarn with different shades of red and white.

Claudina Gets a Hair Cut

 

 

 

 

Claudina has been very successful in her first year of life: winning BOV and BOS at the ARBA convention at 3-1/2 months old, went on to win 3 Best In Show and 3 Reserve In Show with a total of 21 legs of which 17 are BOB.  

 

 

 

She holds on to her first coat for 11+ months, finally it's time for her to get a hair cut.

 

Her coat yields more than 200 yards of art yarn.
 



A big ball of art yarn spun from Claudina's wool ready to be used for knitting.




 

Casey in a Dog Show

We normally see Casey in rabbit shows.  People attending rabbit shows dress very causally, jeans and T shirt are standard.   Dog show attendees seem to like to dress up.  Look at Casey, she dresses up as if ready to go to a party!

He picks the colored doe and she went on to win the Reserve In Show at the end of the day.
 

The final Angora breed on judge Scott's table is the French Angora.   The two highlighted French Angora in the coops are the colored junior bucks.  Yes, they are baby bucks, but they are pretty good sized at a little over 3 months old.
 

The winner of BOB is the colored senior buck.
