    It's so nice to see angoras that are well cared for, that have their "wool" removed gently by people who clearly love them. Lovely, sweet video =)

      Yeah, but as long angora wool is allowed there will be people who do it brutally. Because it's easier, cheaper and faster.

      I think that is why it is important to truly know the source, and the way it is gathered and how the animals or the workers producing the fibers are treated - I use both plant and animal fibers and I would hate to think that someone has been exploited and I paid for it.

    We have had success weaving our homespun, home dyed Angora with a simple triangle loom. It made a great shawl that blooms well and is so warm!
    Weaving uses less yarn than knitting and I was introduced to it by a spinner who made a lovely scarf on a simple table top loom. She had done all the comparisons and found it made her yarns and wool go much further.
    Last year I did my own test and with just a few ounces of my baby fine ‘shorts’ (1.5” and less in length) I was able to felt a scarf with just a few ounces of what some would consider unusable!

    • @gloriousbeginningsangoras4217
      @gloriousbeginningsangoras4217 Před 10 měsíci +2

      I do not, but what comes to mind is making simple frame style weaving devices shaped to your pattern pieces.
      If you had, let’s say, a basic large rectangle of pegboard that would accommodate the size of your largest pattern piece and you used removable dowels, you could weave, much like a triangle loom, the exact pattern shape you will be sewing.
      This has been done in smaller form with cardboard and sewing pins.
      I don’t know if I’ve explained that in a way that makes sense- I can see it clearly in my mind, but not so great at sharing well.
      Let me know if that helps!

      @iesika7387 Před 4 lety

      The primary issue is actually the thickness of the hair. Even when dealing with sheep or alpaca wool, there are different grades depending on how thick the hair shaft is. Angora feels so soft and fine because the hair is so very thin. Dog hair is pretty thick - frequently even thicker than human hair. While people do traditionally spin and felt dog hair, my understanding is it's the undercoat only, and only from specific breeds.

    You're my new hero! lol. I see your plants growing inside and your beautiful bunnies (I have two rabbits but only one is an angora but I might mix in some of the other's "wool") and your dogs in the video. And you got a dog to add his fur to the yarn! Lol. What a great excuse for more animals! I've subscribed and I look forward to viewing more of your videos. I am 52 right now and plan on retiring within 4+ years and I look forward to doing all the things!

    Mam, you seem such a gentle soul. The verbal and non verbal language says it all. Actually, you reminded me of my grand mother who used to knit sweaters for us, and I still wear them. Regards from Bharat/India.

    This is soooo helpful! I have just been cutting our angoras hair before it gets too long, but I’ve been looking into saving it and spinning it. Our spoiled babies are about to start making wool! 😍 Thank you.

      Thank you. I am going to make a new video this month. I have some news. We moved into an apartment for people over 55. I have lupus and could not keep up with that acerage. I did bring all of my crafts with me. And work on them every minute that I am able.
      Enjoy your acerage! Lisa
