NARBC Wool/Skein Contest

Well I just went through all of my angora fiber that has been stored for the past four months. This fiber will be entered in the National Angora Rabbit Breeders Club Wool/Skein Contest. This will be my 1st time competing on a national level with my angora fibers.

The last time I entered angora fiber was back in February at the United Angora Rabbit Club Wool/Skein/Garment Contest in conjunction with the PaSRBA.

For the national show I entered wool in the following categories:

English Angora clipped, French Angora clipped and plucked, Giant Angora clipped and plucked and Satin Angora clipped and plucked.
 
The Wool Contest will be judged on the following: On a scale of 10 being excellent, 8 is good, 6 is fair, 4 poor, 0 fails.
