By now Jack has become the indoor bunny. Hes the easiest to photograph, hes close at hand all the time and his personality is awesome.

Today while loose. Jack kept going to my basket of spun yarns and going crazy. He was licking them, Chinning them. Wouldent go away. I finally realized that because they are all angoras from female buns. The pharamones must have been attracting him lol.

I eventually had to put the basket up on the table to keep him out of it.

You can see a white ball of german, and a lynx ( creamish tones) headband in the basket. I love this wooden basket. Im not sure what its supposed to be. But i use it to store my wool once spun :) At least for now.

I carded 8 batts of angora today. Prepping for the next round of spinning. When i have babies, i often shear the whole lot and because they dont produce as much wool that baby coat ( the junior coat starts around 4-6 months and grows in thicker and a lot more quantity) But ill throw all their baby coats in one bag. As such i had several bags of mixed colors from an entire litter :) So ill be spinning some “harli” colored wools. All natural colors from the litter into one yarn! I had some adult wools in there too. Some french fawn ( so much color!! ) and then in one bag i had HR fawn ( darker fawn) and chocolate satin adults from a friend. It will be a cool spin :) Its the way the harli angoras SHOULD look. Not the pale washed out things im seeing in the groups :P lol.

Anyway, On to spinning!! Maybe eventually some knitting?
