OOAK Kid Mohair Scarf, Hand spun, woven, Sammi Brown by Alba Ranch

Description

Sammi Brown is a OOAK hand spun, hand woven kid mohair scarf from two of my angora goats.

Sammi is the white mohair that was raised here on this ranch. His mohair was spun at Shepherds Mill in Kansas to get a lovely strong 2 ply light fingering yarn that I used for the warp on my loom.

Brownie is the hand spun soft fawn mohair. I processed it here on the ranch myself and spun it up several years ago when I was not as uniform of a spinner. So Brownie's yarn has over spin, extra twists, fat and thin bits in it to give a very unique texture and character. I have to really concentrate to get that these days! Brownie was one of the first angora goats that I lost to an illness and after nursing her for 4 weeks, her fleece was rather important to me. I wanted to make something nice from her memory.

The scarf is 8 inches wide x 51 inches long plus has 6 inch fringe on both ends to make an over all length of 63 inches. It should be hand washed in cold water with minimal agitation and laid flat to dry. Do not dry it in a dryer or use hot water.

The scarf was recently exhibited at the Wearable Treasures Art Show in Canon City, CO.

Our home is smoke free. We are dog friendly though they do not get to play with the fibres and yarns. All Colours are depicted as best as my camera, monitor and computer will allow. The stand and white blouse are not included.
