I have a fair amount of Angora (rabbit wool) that I would like to learn how to spin and to also felt so I can teach my 4H childAll I have is a drop spindleI hear Angora my be difficult to spin because it is slipperySince we collected the wool from our tiny Jersey Woolies feel it is like gold and don't want to mess it upCan you help? Also, I'd love to get links to how-to websites, especially ones for using a drop spindle and felting simple projects.Thank you! Any help is appreciated:)Oh, also, the amount is about 5 oz (very light weight but very fluffy).
Shape factor in radiation is also called view factorIt is the amount of radiation intercepted by a surface receiving radiation from another surfaceShape factor F12 means the amount of radiation emitted by surface 1 and intercepted by surface 2.
This will spin up in no time, but a drop spindle is going to make it dead difficultI learned how to spin years ago, and the very first fiber I spun was angora and it is incredibly slipperyHonestly, 5 ounces will only give you a couple of feet of yarn, but I understand that you're not expecting to go into production with your bunnies and their woolI would suggest going to your next Handweaver's Guild meeting and asking someone to show you how to use your drop spindle - it takes a fair amount of coordination and you cannot teach yourself from a book nor from a web-site (I've tried)I've included a link to sites that should point you in the right direction for finding your local weaver's group.
