Tips for Spinning Angora

  • If the fiber doesn't flow smoothly, try spinning from the other end of the roving.

  • Use lots of twist. If your yarn is normally so overspun that it coils up on itself, you're meant for angora. If you normally don't overspin, try using a faster ratio on your wheel.

  • Use plenty of lotion on your hands so the angora doesn't stick to you.

  • Odd as it may seem, the clothes you're wearing can make a difference. Polyester clothing can increase the static electricity and make the angora more flyaway.
