Hello!
I've just started out with 2 beautiful French Angoras. I harvested over the course of a few days and the fiber is about 3-3.5 inches long. I wanted to try spinning the fiber uncarded on a drop spindle (haven't saved up enough for a wheel yet!!) and hoped for some pointers on here I have only been spinning for a short time, and I realize that Angora fiber is slippery compared to sheep's wool, but I'm a dare devil, what can I say!
Any advice on drop spindle use with uncarded fiber?
Thanks
