But ready made colors, in ends of roving and top, from Goats Magosh, no big investment, is a good addition. Here's what arrived today, packed into a tiny bag, which exploded into a lot of fiber. Lovely clear colors.
Also, since these are really scraps, good quality but small amounts, there's a variety of different fibers, interesting experience to work with them.
Some practically spin themselves, unlike the merino which I think is good fiber, but a bit resistant for beginner drafting. That's where you draw out the fiber from the supply in your hand, ready to spin it.
I love GoatsMagosh.com, because she responds fast with lovely clean product, very reasonable price, and she rescues goats. Also she's a small business owner in Puerto Rico, still recovering from Maria. I will buy directly from her in future when I need serious fiber.
I found her through Amazon, but no need for a middleman. She has no idea I'm saying this, no business arrangement, I just like how she works.
And this weekend may be a spinageddon.
Naturally I had to check the goat website, but GoatsMagosh.com took me to a blank "this domain may be for sale" page...?
ReplyDeleteSo I googled and found her Etsy shop. Try there and see. Her goats are angora rather than cashmere. I think they're the ones you can shear?
DeleteThanks, I'll check etsy. And yes, cashmeres are the only ones that get combed - and some people even shear cashmeres although I can't imagine what percentage of usable fiber they end up with.
DeleteWell, dang. She's definitely in business, and that's the site on her insert. Maybe a Google check is in order.
