You can thank Peter Greenaway for inspiring today’s post. His works tend to have a lot of lists and games and humour (twisted though it may be) in them.
This came about from watching The Pillow Book on Saturday. Amung other things, it is a movie about a woman writing a book of lists inspired by a 1000 year old book by a woman who made a book of lists. The other direct influence would be 26 Bathrooms.
A is for Angora rabbit, Alpaca and Ashland Bay
Angora rabbits make angora fibre. There are several types of Angoras, each with their own characteristics. In general, the best fibre is plucked from the rabbit, rather than being sheared. Unfortunately for me, these are one of the animals that I’m allergic to.
Alpaca fibre is one of my favourites to work with. It comes in a wide range of shades of white, greys, browns, fauns and a true black. Plus the animals are just so cute!
Ashland Bay is the seller of many lovely fibre lines.
