Isn't she cute?
We decided to keep one, and have been calling her ChiChi, though her official show name is Buggs' Loose Hare. She will be making her first appearance at the County Fair. We're excited to see her away from home, because here, she is sooooo personable and just seeks attention. And who could refuse such a cutie?! And the best part, her fiber is FABULOUS already!!!
ChiChi snuggling, as always.
Spring brought a bumper crop of gorgeous angora fiber, and the baby bunnies have left me with no time for spinning. New fiber is coming in as well. I have some nice 100% alpaca and a superwash merino/alpaca blend that is really soft and makes me think of knitting socks. But I did quite a bit of that for Christmas gifts last year, so who knows what will come of it. Then there are the three fleeces I need to clean, card and spin (1 llama and 2 jacobs). I really enjoy meeting the animals that produce these sumptuous fibers, and the farmers really enjoy seeing the end product of their hard work. (Thinking cap) Maybe I'll send a pair of socks to the farmers? That way, everyone wins!
If you are interested in Pearly, or if you'd just like to talk bunnies or yarn, drop me an E-MAIL.
