Mohair

I’ve spun up my mohair from Rutabega the Angora goat, then plied it using a drop spindle.

I transferred the yarn to my PVC niddy noddy, wet it down and let it dry. I then had a hank of spun mohair.

Since working from a hank is a recipe for tangles unless you keep it stretched out on a swift, I then used my swift and ball winder to make a yarn cake. The inside of my cake went askew; I think I might have had too much tension as I wound.

I am now ready to make swatches for my fiber page!
