I didn't have any experiences in "exotics" so far, but as it's told in the
Ashford you should blend fine fibers (mohair, alpaca, angora, long doghair,
perhaps your hair) with a fine wool. Not to make them less worth, but to get a
invariable yarn. A friend of mine told me about her experience in 100% alpaca.
She got a wonderful yarn from witch she knitted a shawl about 1,5m lenght. Now
one year later it's up to 2m lenght, cause the fibers slipped from each others.
So use the wool as "cement" on your yarn.
Hope that helps
Ilona
