So come on, admit it, they are gorgeous! They seem quite comfortable, very friendly and very interested in having us groom them. And believe it or not - the boys have been clipped for the summer and are at about 10% of their normal hair length.

And now comes the question I'm sure you've heard a million time... what do you do with their hair.

*eyes you*

Not the millionth time, had the buns only 24 hours so far, but I appreciate the sentiment.

I am however planning to make scarves and hats out of their fur. Now, who has a spinning wheel to loan me?

[midnightfae.livejournal.com]

Not me, that's for sure. I haven't even learned to spin yet. One day though. One day.

Me, neither. I have, oddly enough, learned to card wool (gotta love pagan festival workshops). Which is about all I can do with the bunny wool for now. There are services where you can send carded wool for spinning on mechanical spinners vs traditional wheel. Hell you can send them dog hair, same treatment. I wonder what they smell like when it rains.

I'm told a decent carpenter (our coven has several) can build a spinning wheel without "too much fuss". Will look into that soonest. Also, must learn to purl. HTML would be good, too.

It never does end, does it?
