I would like to try my hand at making yarn. Why not, I got addicted to BYC and got chickens, really involved in chickens. Then I found TEG and got raised beds, pots, planters, seeds, compost bins, etc. Then I found BYH and milking goats. So I have Nigerian Dwarf goats for milking. So I saw Angora Bunnies, I had a bunny once, and it didn't work out. He was kind of wild, I was VERY young. So before I dive nose first, I would like to try a natural animal fleece. This could be sheep, alpaca, goat, and I would like some angora rabbit to mix in.
I have never carded or spun anything, ever, but I like to use my hands so I figure I could buy some fleeces and try it my self. Would one of you kind people please send me some fleeces. I'm not looking for A-1 first rate prime, grade A fleece. I'm looking for fleece right off the animal so I will know what I'm getting into.
If this adventure is going to be expensive, I might have to decline offers, so don't be offended. I have a friend who is lending me her aunt's carders, if I like it, I can purchase them later on.
Thanks, Melissa
ETA: Would consider buying someones already spun yarn, if you have a Etsy or ebay store, let me know.
