We are producing some wonderful award winning fleece here at Hollyhock Hollow.This fleece I am standing with won the Diamond Award at the 2006 Flock and Fiber Festival in Canby Oregon. The Diamond Award is given to the best fleece at the show. This fleece first won the best in the Pygora fleece show, then competed against all
the other winners from the other fleece shows. And it won! The fleece belongs to Margarit, a doe kid by Molly and Tex. Margarit's full brother also won the
Best Fleece on a Pygora at this Sanctioned show.
This fleece has also won the Grand Champion Fleece Goat award at the 2007 Sacramento County Fair as well!!

Type A- is a long lustrous fiber averaging 6 + inches in length. It drapes in long lustrous ringlets. "A" type is a single coat with no guard hair. The fiber is very fine mohair like, usually less than 28 microns. The handle should be silky, smooth and cool to the touch.
Type B- is a blend of fibers with characteristics of both mohair type and cashmere type fleece. It is usually curly and should average 3 to 6 inches in length. There is an obvious guard hair. There should be luster and the handle should be soft and airy. The fiber should test, on average below 24 microns. The fleece color is usually lighter then the guard hair color.
Type C- Is a very fine fiber, usually below 18.5 microns and can be acceptable commercial cashmere. It must be at least 1 inch long, and is usually between 1 to 3 inches. It has a matte finish and a warm, creamy, handle. It must show crimp. A coarse guard hair is present. There is good separation between guard hair and fleece. There should be only one, course guard hair. The fleece color is usually lighter than the guard hair color. (This was taken from the Pygora Breeders Association's {PBA} Breed Standard)
