Preparing Angora for doll hair

I've spent the last few days combing, washing, conditioning, drying and 
combing again.... the angora that I use as the hair on the artdolls I make. 
This batch started out at 7/10 of an ounce and after the final conditioning 
and drying it weighs in at 3/10 of an ounce. Lots of work, but makes 
beautiful hair and well worth the effort. This particular batch was fairly 
easy and only took about an hour and a half.
