Broken English Angora Wool and Yarn



Debbie has beautiful broken English Angora.



Debbie sent her broken English Angora wool to the Shaw family of Blue Mountain Mill in PA to be processed.  The result is  roving of 50-50 broken English wool with Merino sheep wool.  Debbie generously gifted 2.5 ounces to Betty to try.




Betty spun the 50-50 roving into smooth one ply yarn.



Betty also spun up some of her own white English Angora wool into smooth single ply on the right.



The is the two ply yarn with one ply of broken English Angora and Merino wool and one ply of 100% white English Angora wool.



This is the final result.   How do you like it?
