Pearl's first yarn!

Yay, I finally finished up the yarn from my angora rabbit Pearl!

I carded her fiber with a Merino/Silk blend.
The content is approx 40% Angora and 60% Merino/Silk


Look at the bobbin! This is a new jumbo bobbin and I pretty much filled it up. It took me almost 4 hours to ply!


Finished yarn. I have not washed it yet, so I do not know the actual weight of the yarn, but right now it is between lace and fingering weight. It is 697 yards, 4.9 oz. I plan to leave it undyed and make something lacy for the baby that will be more of an heirloom piece rather than a functional piece.
