My English Angora |
I cut the wool with scissors, because it's easier to me, and I can do with the rabbits sitting in my lap or on a table. This causes no harm to the rabbits and my rabbits enjoy the haircut especially in the summertime. You can usually tell when the wool is ready to harvest because it will start coming out. If you start seeing loose hairs that you can easily pull out, then it's generally time to harvest. After cutting the wool, you card it. Buy Ashford Classic Wool Hand Carders
After carding, it's time to spin the wool. There are different tools for spinning, but I use a drop spindle. It's cheaper! Buy the Happy Classy Drop Spindle Maple Top Whorl Spinning Clear Smooth Finish
And, that's it! You have yarn to start crocheting with! Check out my other website at Backyard Farming on Less Than an Acre!
