Spinning Pygora Fleece
Of the many spinning projects Hellchick has done the past year, spinning the fleece of pygora goats from Jody at Fleece Fields proved to be challenging.
“Goat fiber typically has guard hairs in it that, if not picked out before spinning, can make a yarn go from cashmere-soft to feeling like steel wool,” she writes. Picking the guard hairs out is a time consuming process but it’s worth it when you put on your new cashmere sweater.
You can find Hellchick’s available yarns in her store on Etsy.
