Dyeing for Colors

Angoras are great pets, great show animals and they are also great producers of the most luxuries wool that can be kept in the natural state or dyed into pretty colors.

These three skeins of colorful yarns are dyed on handspun white English Angora yarn.   

Here is a closeup of these yarns.  

Is Christmas coming?  Not quite.  

These two skeins are dyed on handspun tort English Angora yarn. 

These two pairs of mittens are made from the pink yarn in the first three photos, and the red yarn from the 4th and 5th photos.

Then there is the purple pair from the purple yarn, pink pair from the pink yarn and the green pair from the green yarn above.   Plus two pairs made from broken chestnut yarn that are not dyed.   Angoras are so versatile, they can fulfill our emotional need to have a loving pet, our competitive need to be in a show and our artistic need of being creative.
