Wash the hair several times with detergent before spinning it. Rinse completely several times.
In the last rinse, you can add vinegar or denatured alcohol to bring out the hair's natural luster.
Dry the hair on towels or allow a fan to blow on it when it is hanging on a towel rack.
Selling goat fiber
Goat fiber is another growing market in the United States. If you have goat fiber to sell, hands
pinners who spin yarns will probably be interested in your fiber if it is high quality. You may
need to learn how to spin your own yarn and market it yourself to find niche markets. You can
sell the yarn at farmers markets and online with other goat products. Mohair, cashmere, and
pygora are in high demand. It is simply a question of reaching consumers for your yarns.
