I have Derry a Nubian/Angora goat. She has the long spiral locks that are so pretty. I'm clipping them intact and washing them (carefully) and I plan to make tassels with them as the center and beading and spun yarn around to hold the lock. In my mind this would look great! I am washing as careful as possible, and gosh is she a stinky goat! Phew!
I have dried them and gently combed them. I have got a lot of fibers pulling out but most stay in place, though a bit fuzzy. I have found one place that has Cotswold locks I may try in the future. Anybody try washing and combing and keeping the locks all together? Anything to calm the fuzz and get that pretty curl again?
What were your results? How about Cotswold? Any help is gratefully accepted!
