I spun my cats fluff into yarn. 100% Mimi fur. Had to scour it to get the itchy away, sun dry it, and then card it into rolags-it’s really beautiful. It is silver and has a halo effect. She appreciates the dead weight being lifted as well!
Fabulous presentation!
The Clearances started earlier than mentioned and lasted longer than mentioned. Up until the Highland clearances are mentioned, everything presented here relates to England only. There were also clearances in the Lowlands, but these aren’t mentioned.
Oh how I wish we could wear wool more often in Texas!!!
