We think of them as pets with a purpose.
When you buy a kid from from Caney Fork Pygoras, a skein of yarn, or a pile of gorgeous fleece, you can be sure it is coming from a farm where the animals are well-loved, handled daily, and cared for closely to ensure the best lifestock and fiber quality.
This all started because I love to knit.
Years ago, not long after I started knitting, I learned that cashmere comes from goats. That revelation turned into a dream of owning fiber animals, and I got around to it about a decade later. On a hunt for cashmere I ran across a breed called Pygora, which crosses the mohair-producing Angora with the Pygmy, one of several breeds with cashmere down. The plan was to raise my own yarn, but goats are like potato chips. So, now I have enough fleece and yarn to share!
