The next big thing in fiber

Have you ever noticed that different fibers have their own version of the 15 minutes of fame?  Well, I’m going to go waaaay out on a limb and say that these woolly critters will be the next big thing in fiber.  Ok, maybe not.  But they’re neat and it sure would be funny if you could spin their wool/hair/fur/whatever it is.

    Oh my, are those pigs ever cute!

    I guess the real question is whether or not their fiber is ‘wool’ or ‘hair’? Am i right is thinking that’s the major consideration for spinning?

    My husband has just that sort of hair! I wonder if they are soft or bristly?

    Oh My! They are just the cutest little pigs! Maybe you can spin their wool/hair/fur/whatever. I suggest you buy a couple and find out :-)

    Wow, I’ve never seen pigs like that before!

    I think they’re cute, but I don’t know how well they’d work for fibre. All of the pigs I’ve touched have been too bristly.

    It would be a real shocker to touch them and find out they are actually soft. I just can’t imagine anything but curly bristles….
