My breed and fiber study page for white mink fiber with a picture of the fiber, a sample of each of the two yarns spun, and a swatch knit from each of the yarns spun.

I finished the swatches for the white mink. During the spinning, I discovered that I was allergic to it, so I ended up knitting the swatches with a mask and nitrile gloves on. Gorgeous fiber, though.

Finished the second half of the White Mink sample (no mink were harmed). Singles spun at 55 wpi, and chain plied to get a 3 ply, 14 wpi fingering weight yarn, 60 yards to 1 ounce.

I worked on the 2nd half of the White Mink sample (no mink were harmed).
Singles were spun at 55 wpi, and will be chain plied. I'm definitely allergic to it though, so I won't be spinning more.
