I need a cheap but good mess kit for a trip I'm taking in about a month and this one looked the best so I figured I should make sure before spending around $15 on something that might suck.
I cut my angora's fur as it's easier to untangle that way, but you can always use a pet hair brush and collect the fur from the brushThen it needs to be soaked, dyed (optional) and carded before it can be spunYoutube has a ton of videos on carding and drop spinningIt's one of those skills that takes a little practice.
It's a good mess kit, but an uncoated stainless one would be fine tooIf you go with the non-stick one, make sure you take utensils that won't scratch itAlso, when you pack it up, you might want to put a paper towel between the pieces so they don't scratch each otherIf the non-stick coating gets scratched off, you're down to aluminum which is inferior to starting with a stainless kit.
