Today she boasts a herd of more than 300 Angoras. After clipping the wool from her pets, she has it carded, and with spools, cones and spinning equipment built by her husband, a retired mechanical engineer, she spins the wool into yarn...Her husband not to be outdone has a herd of more than 200 meat rabbits."; See images #00117560 through #00117562 for all photos in this series.
