How to Spin Satin Angora

(what I found worked for me)

Use a Light Spindle so you can watch what is happening with each twist and draft.

Take 3/4 ounce wool blended with 1/4 ounce angora. Spin with lots of twist.

Take 1/2 ounce wool blended with 1/2 ounce angora. Spin with lots of twist.

Take 1/4 ounce wool blended with 3/4 ounce angora. Spin with lots of twist.

The next thing you know you are spinning 100% angora. with a lot of twist.

Avoid blending with Superwash wool.
