This day I said I wanted to do an entry with a bunny and a pile of fluff, then some pictures of that fluff being spun. I plucked my bunny and took pictures all the while. I even started to spin the fluff off of my bunny, but the software for downloading photos is on Barry’s computer. That means that he has to be home so that I can download pictures on his computer and send them to this computer. Anyway, I got SOME of the pictures I wanted on this computer:

Here’s me plucking Sally. I just grab some wool and pull. Comes out just like that. It takes me forever. I used to just sit on the couch with her on my lap, but a couple of my maternity shirts have holes chewed in the belly!! It is much easier on this table that Barry built!

So, here’s all the fluff. It is like a big cloud. Can you tell how soft it feels from the picture?

And now I’m starting to spin it. This is my first attempt spinning angora on my spinning wheel. It is much harder than sheep’s wool or alpaca. It has to be spun thin with a lot of twist in it to keep it from breaking and it is so slippery it takes some fancy finger work. It’s much easier for me to do it on a drop spindle, but that is a lot slower. I think I’m getting the hang of it though.

Anyway Mom, here are the pictures. They were never here, so that’s why you couldn’t find them.
