Mom's friend, Vicki Eberhart, owner of Montague Farm came to visit the Bridge School today. Vicki is a fiber farmer, that raises angora rabbits and sheep to make awesome yarn. Her farm is located in NE Washington State in the Okanagan Mountain Range. Her yarns are known as Bunny Gold.
It was really exciting that Vicki brought a mother angora rabbit (Alexis) and her baby (Silky).
Vicki held Alexis, and demonstrated hand cutting her fur and also using an electric clipper.
Angora fur and roving was passed around in the basket, it was very soft.
Vicki, also spun some yarn on an electric spinner.
There's the baby-Silky! SO CUTE!!!!
At the end of her presentation, she let me, and all of the other children pet Alexis. It was fun!
