Gonzo, our favorite Diamond Shine wether, says welcome to our online store!
This is my very first work with the spinning wheel using the 100% mohair from the first shearing last fall. If you are new to spinning, you can start with a drop spinner, which gives you a lot more control and it’s easier to stop and draft your fiber (all of these terms are on the “Dictionary of Fiber and Spinning” page!). You can also start with batts that are a blend of wool and mohair, which can be easier to spin for us newbies.
But Lucy would like you to admire her new fleece, already growing back just 2 weeks after shearing!!!
