Handspun angora

This100% angora yarn is handspun and kettle dyed in South America. It is perfect for a special pair of wristwarmers (check back for a photo of some sweet lace ones I am knitting up). This yarn is very soft and has a lot of angora "halo" yet I rubbed along my black pant leg repeatedly to see how much it would shed and it barely released a single "fluff" onto my pants. The yardage varies since it is handspun by different women. Each skein is 50 gms. Several of the skeins I checked yardage on were in the range of 55-66 yds., but again a skein that is spun thicker would have less yardage. Price: $19.99/skein
