Making of a Tort Angora Vest






Carolyn shows off the tort Angora vest she completed recently.   What's involved in making an Angora vest?   


The tort English Angora wool is being groomed.   Look at the different shades of the earth tone color from orangey beige to grayish beige on the same rabbit.



When the time is right, the tort English Angora gets a hair cut and the big pile of wool is ready to be spun.



The wool is spun into two ply 100% yarn.   It has different shades within the yarn just like the wool on the rabbit.



Find a good pattern, get some nice needles, sit down and knit.  Carolyn did a great job in making this beautiful tort Angora vest.
