Topic: Handspinning

Spinning and knitting with angora in the winter is the most sublime pleasure. The winds are raging, but dressing in angora keeps one comfortable out in it all. These Easy Mittens (the free pattern is available here) suit every year, and I keep making them for new sets of cold hands that appear in my life.
There is a spinning class this weekend here at Countrywool and we will blend angora with merino and cormo wools and then spin the yarn for a neckwarmer that will match the yarn in these mittens. Can't wait!
