Pretty! One of my friends has a pygora skin, and it’s sooooo soft. I’ve always wondered how the pygmy/angora cross could come up with cashmere type fiber, as mohair is so, you know, mohair.

Could you show a “penny picture”? The color is lovely. It looks like a shawl to me already.

Wow. Looking at that linked post (did I miss it first time round or am I really that old? Sigh. prolly both.)

You have so much more willpower than I. There is nothing I find harder to resist than the independent producer; so 2½ barns would bankrupt me. ;p

‘Out here’ for pygora I would say the main is Pygora Peppermint Pastures and I’m still saving it to spin (but mine has a lovely gimmick of peppermint oil in its put-ups, which is certainly a lifesaver when camping at a sheep fair) but it is grade A/B, and so silky and fine… well, with a ‘new’ breed, I inferred that it can depend on the grader, and their mood, and…

I want a pygora. When we have our Fantasy Ranch.

Mmm, love pygora and I love your spinning. Um, keep it away from Charlie, ok? ;)

The spun fiber looks very beautiful. I love the halo of it and it does look very soft.

It certainly looks like it’s worth the effort. Very pretty!

I hemmed and hawed over some of that Pygora, but ended getting some sort of blend instead. Now I’m kicking myself, because that looks really knittable.

There’s always next year…

Pygora/silk sounds luscious. It’s too bad the prep wasn’t as deligtful as the yarn appears to be.

I just wanted to pop in and say that I’m very glad you have found time lately to write more often. I read every post and always learn something – very enjoyable. Thanks!
