Thanks, Ron, for getting that started! I was wondering if I hadn't done something correctly when I *thought* I joined the list! So -- I've been enjoying the posts and should perhaps give a brief intro before I ask a question!
I raise mini cheviot sheep as well as cashmere goats, angora (goat) and angora (rabbit). I also have a ridiculous menagerie that includes eleven horses, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, and rabbits. I've worked in a variety of artistic mediums, and have always loved textiles of any kind. I'm a new-ish handspinner anxious to devote more time to fiber arts. I started spinning romney, and I do believe it's a good fiber to start with. What I'm wondering is this : Since I have these little cheviots, I'd really appreciate some feedback about cheviot wool from those who have worked with it. Don't hold back, please! Tell me the good, the bad, the ugly. I need to gather some good info from experienced handspinners and fiber artists to help guide me as I begin to select specifically for fiber in my flock. Thanks! I'm so pleased to have access to a good resource as I learn more about handspinning and related fiber arts!
