I'm curious what you guys might have to say
of Kaffe Fasset's work:What, if any, formula
do you think he uses? On the surface he seems
to 'break the rules', is this true...or just how
it looks to the casual observer?

This thread about color theory is WAY over my head. I live for color,

In the color course I took the instructor talked about the Golden Means,
the proportions of colors you use in a design. I will dig it up to day and

A basic question - when you knit something too big and
then reduce its size, do you do it just in the washing
machine, or washer plus dryer? Also, what is the
experience of other people with their own handspun
yarn - does it shrink as much as commercial yarn?
Thanks,

The fabric that I've seen used a lot is the fabric used in awnings. Also
you can use a tightly woven canvas although you don't want a really heavy
fabric. The fabric should be durable and sun-resistant. A loose weave will
snag on fences. I've used those nylon blankets from New

I'll give you my answer for processing Angora. I would sell it as is. Trying
to process angora from rabbits is very hard to do. I blend my angora with
wool as angora has no memory of its own. You said you plucked it, this is
the best angora to spin. Good luck with your sale.
