Designing Angora Yarn





Normally the Angora yarn is either natural color or dyed.    A light bulb moment: why not combine the two?  This ball of Angora yarn is made of white and blue.    Blue wool is dyed then dried.   When spinning the yarn, take a handful of white wool and spin then take a handful of dyed blue wool and spin.



Here is white with variety of pink/red.    When knitted, the white and red/pink will self stripe.



White and green.    In rabbit terms, white combined with another color is called "broken", can we call this yarn "broken green"?



Dyed Purple/lavender wool goes really well with fawn/tort wool to make this yarn combo.
