You
have a bunch of lovely, fluffy Pygora goats. Now what? If you’d
like to learn how to evaluate your raw fleeces and breed for
improvement, this workshop is for you! We’ll talk about the
unique qualities of Pygora fleeces, basic Pygora genetics, colors
and patterns of Pygoras, discuss how best to shear a Pygora, which
parts are worth saving for spinning, how to skirt a fleece,
alternate uses for ‘less than perfect’ parts of a fleece, how
to deal with things like dandruff and lice, and how to evaluate a
Pygora fleece. There will be time for lots of questions and
answers. Bring a raw Pygora fleece or two if you have them in a
box. If possible, also bring a photo of the goat that produced
that fleece.
