Top-quality Raw Angora
Place raw angora fiber into a mesh garment/sock wash bag. Soak in cold to lukewarm water with a mild soap or wool wash, for 20-30 minutes be careful not to agitate (repeat this step as needed). Rinse until water runs clear. Then Lay flat to dry, spreading out fiber as much as possible. Gently fluff the angora by hand as the fibers dry for a more uniform finished effect. Using a fan to aid in drying will blow your angora away. After the initial cleaning process wash sparingly for increased longevity.
If dying this fiber mordanting with a protein fiber compatible mordant like potassium aluminum sulfate with cream of tartar will help improve color-fastness, and the ability of the fiber to absorb the dye.
