It is not shorn (cut off with scissors or shears) like from the sheep. A special comb is used and when the goat is shedding, it feels comfortable for them. Each goat gives very little fibre \u2013 about 300 gram maximum. It is time-consuming to card out the fibre when they shed in spring. If it is done to early, it is stuck and the goat is not happy, and if it is done to late, the fibre is felted and can not be processed.

I had a fleece of grey wool from a lamb of mine that was unusually soft. And I decided to take it twice through the fibre separator and get more of the tog (the coarser hair) out of the lambs fleece. That way I had more thel (the inner coat). I mixed it with the goatfibre. 10% wool with 90% goat and 20% wool with 80% goat and it is just amazing. It is so soft and nice and can very nicely be processed that way without harming the goatfibre. And the biggest benefit of it was that I could spin it straight after the spinning of a wool. But usually when I spin goatfibre, we have to change some of the machines and it takes more time, and it is actually a lot of trouble to spin it on it\u2019s own. So adding 10 or 20 % of wool and still have this amazing quality in the yarn and getting it spun more easily made me very happy. I did one experiment more with one farmer\u2019s goatfibre with her permission.- I put 30% of the grey lamb\u2019s wool, but then I could feel there was wool in it. So my conclusion is that adding 10 or 20% of good quality lambs wool with the goatfibre makes it easier to spin and the quality is still there.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13356 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/338183499_3088797557920087_5817573034782017855_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"298\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/338183499_3088797557920087_5817573034782017855_n.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/338183499_3088797557920087_5817573034782017855_n-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/338183499_3088797557920087_5817573034782017855_n-600x800.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 223px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 223\/298;\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13357 alignleft lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/337759293_1234703067464766_8363425485417176943_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"299\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/337759293_1234703067464766_8363425485417176943_n.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/337759293_1234703067464766_8363425485417176943_n-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/337759293_1234703067464766_8363425485417176943_n-600x800.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 224px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 224\/299;\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00dea\u00f0 er stundum h\u00e6gt a\u00f0 f\u00e1 \u00ferj\u00e1 \u00f3l\u00edka liti \u00far kasm\u00edrgarni, en oftast eru \u00feeir einn e\u00f0a tveir.
