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 =)

@saultigh4304 5 жыл бұрын

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! Thank you for taking the time to share your process!

Do you know any weaving methods that you can cut freely? I really want to make my own fabric for a very specific outfit, and don't want to waste yarn

@gloriousbeginningsangoras4217 8 ай бұрын

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 4 жыл бұрын

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.
