do you use sheep wool or rabbit fur? I've known some women that keep those huge angora rabbits. They are pets, basically, but she also brushed them out all the time and cards and spins their wool. It's beautiful! Me, soap making started as a hobby, I'm just about ready to start selling--I had to refine my packaging, etc., but should have news on that soon. I also love to sew wearable art and quilt. Like you said, :) when I have time! Thanks.

When I find extra time, I love working on my own regalia. I make, and sell beadwork for a living; so I get burned out often, and will switch off to the sewing machine at times. It's takes alot for me to get the gumption to work on my own stuff; but when I do, I love it. Oh yeah, my other hobby is working on my flower gardens; I get chewed up by mosquitos and come in dirty, but I really enjoy it.

i use sheep's wool. there is a local women's group/bookstore/vegetaraian restaurant that sells spinning suppilies. i have gotten wool thru ebay. i am tempted to try spinning alpaca next.

Back when I was married...we seriously considered going into Llama ranching. Like Alpacas, the wool has a specialty market all its own. I bet you'd have a great time with it!
