Kid Mohair

I was very pleased with the micron results of Hazel's Mohair at a 20.5! Thoughts of shearing are in the air, so I went ahead and washed the rest of Hazel's mohair. I am in the final stages of picking a DRUM CARDER (probably louet) and then can get this blended with the alpaca. Was able to get a few oz done on hand cards, but was getting no where fast. I do want to spin that, maybe this weekend.

What else is new?
SHEEP shearing (and goat) March 27th. The Nigerians are milking for us now, have to pencil in time for goat milk soap. We had 3 doelings in January, all in their new homes, and twin bucklings by Hi-U in Feb. Both of them are now sold. May breed Yippee for late summer kids, or that's all folks for the ND kids in 2010. We are hopefully bringing in a couple more shetlands by month's end.
