A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies..............She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.......She layeth her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.....................Proverbs 31:10,13,19
First skein of hand spun chiengora as it dried, after being washed and sanitized..........
Let the glory be to God! A little over 27 yards of finished yarn. Isn't it beautiful?.......................................................
Sooooooooooo, what was it spun from?.........
............... Our Collie's Hair--- Chiengora.
A finished project..........................
( These slippers were crocheted using the above skein of yarn and some store bought, with a felt bottom. )
Mittens crocheted with a strand of chiengora and a strand of cotton
This skein of two ply yarn was the first spun from angora goat, Pehrah's fleece.
