No don't spritz it. That will make it worse. Use a doggy wire pet brush if
you have it or just pull it apart with your fingers if it is not too bad. A
carder will break the fibers if it has been there a long time.
For storing raw angora it is important to make sure it is not pressed down by
anything. So no bags. I use old computer paper boxes or shoe boxes and
tissue paper between layers. The finer the layers the better. Lay out in the
same direction if newly harvested. If not in the same direction give it lots
of air space.

Subject: [fibernet] Angora fiber - felted in storage!
Yarg, I hate when this happens.
I have a bunny blend - wool, silk, angora - that has felted after years of
storage. It's not a total loss, I can sort of pick it apart and draft
If I spritz it with... maybe one of those silicone-containing hair frizz
tamers (diluted), will that help it draft?
How can I prevent this from happening again?
TIA,
June
