A New Look for Velvet



My little monkey face is sleek and beautiful, newly shorn and relieved of all the burrs and tags she was carrying around. Her fleece is so fine and light it hardly weighs anything at all. I marked the bag with her name so I can make something special with her kid mohair. She's out in the cool rain now with the rest of the flock and must feel amazingly refreshed. Now she can grow another heavier coat before the snows come. With the big barn she will never have to get wet, important for angora goats who are hot weather animals.

    Your baby looks so sweet! Bet her new coat will be absolutely fabulous! You should make a little shawl from her wool - that way you can aways have her over your shoulders and near your heart!
