Wool/Skein/Garment Contest at WCC

These nice looking mugs are prizes for a different kind of contest than showing rabbits.  

Angora rabbits are not only great for showing, their wool can be made into gorgeous items.  Here are some of the things displayed at the WCC in Reno.
 

There are wearables, skeins of yarns, batts of wool, ... with comments and prizes next to them.
The contest is sponsored by Blown Away Angora Rabbit Guild managed by Tammy Vaughn.

Guess who is the judge?  Our Carol Green.

This is a beautiful hat with a complicated pattern.

This large wearable is the Best In Show winner.

Judge Carol Green and the maker of the Best In Show garment Linda Hibbert.  Linda has been spinning for less than a year.  Interestingly enough that both Carol and Linda are top American Fuzzy Lop breeders.  Carol has won the Best of Best at WCC twice and Linda has won the Best In Show at an ARBA convention, each with an American Fuzzy Lop.   Both are fiber artists, and Angoras certainly produce more wool for their fiber adventures. Carol raises the French Angora, she is the reigning first place winner of the French Angora national sweepstakes; Linda raises the Giant Angora and English Angora. 

Tammy has posted a video on YouTube that features more items, please visit:
