I wanted to explain how pygora is harvested. It is usually combed, plucked or sheared off the goat.
An A-type fleece is usually used as is off the goat due to to a smaller amount of guard hair this type is basically scour and go. If the limited guard hairs are removed a lustrious silky yarn is result.
B-type fleece is finer than an A-type it may or may not have alot of guard hair. If this fiber is spun woolen and fulled it creates nice halo similar to angora rabbit fiber.
Type – C fleece has to be dehaired if it is clipped because all the guard hair comes with it. However plucked or combed fleeces may not need dehairing.
Here are some pictures of my dehaired pygora.
And all dyed up!
