Michigan Angora Club's Great Summer Activity

Summer time is get-together time.   While us Northern California Angora Guild members are excited to go to our summer show and party tomorrow, the Michigan Angora Club members just had a great day a few weeks ago.   Here are some photos.  

We thank Jackie McDonald for sharing the pictures and the report:

"The Michigan Angora Club held an Angora Fiber Frenzy on June 8th in beautiful northern Michigan. The day held a specialty show, as well as classes all about angoras and what they can be used for. There were classes on felting and dyeing Angora wool. New people learned how to shear angoras. There were classes in spinning and using a drop spindle. There was another class on using hand cards to prep your wool for spinning. We had a nice catered lunch. 

There were about 50 angoras in attendance. A French Angora won Best in Show. 

We also had a wool/skein/garment contest where a beautiful woven Angora shawl won Best in Show."
