Adventure Down the Rabbit Hole

Margaret Gough

Afternoon

Do you love angora fibre but are not sure how to spin or blend it? This workshop introduces spinners to the wonderful properties and characteristics of the four types of angora and how to prepare and use the raw fibre on its own or in a blend. We will explore considerations if you would like to raise your own angora rabbit so you have an endless supply of fibre to spin.

Please Bring :

Working spinning wheel, minimum of 3 empty bobbins, lazy kate, hand cards or blending board, travel size spray bottle 2-4” tall (to make conditioning spray to reduce static)
