Pygora

My spinning adventures continue with the Pygora goat.  The Pygora is a breed that originates from crossing the Pygmy and the Angora goats.   They have three distinct types of fleeces, "A" like an Angora, "B" blend like a cross between Angora and Cashmere and "C" like Cashmere.  The cloud of fiber I spun is a blend of A/B.

I decided to spin this into a lace weight yarn for the "petite lace scarf" I saw in Knitting with Beads by Jane Davis.

  Stay tuned.  This little scarf will be accented with a few beads....
