Cult of the sacrificial lamb ♡

a/n: there is no actual lamb cult, I just like the title 😭 nsfw, mentioning their cock and titty sizes lmao

•°. *࿐ ⋆ •°. *࿐ ⋆ •°. *࿐ ⋆ •°. *࿐ ⋆

★poka and juniper the Valais black nose's: the twins are inseparable. You need to bathe one but it's not the other's bath time yet? Suck it up then, 'cause they're both going in the tub now. No guarantee you won't get splashed with water. Poka is colorblind, and juniper is.. interesting. Who knows what's wrong her. The only way you can tell the difference between them is through their eyes. Who's blind and who isn't.

Physical appearance: they're both dark skinned with loosely curly black hair. At this point you should give them a haircut. Juniper has green eyes and poka has blue eyes. Juniper is 130 lbs, while poka is 120 lbs. (Juni's packing some pretty big milkers, DD cup bra. Poka got a 6 incher) 5'5

★violet the harri: violet is a little violent. Her name suits her. Kinda. You could be busy doing your chores and she'd tackle whoever decided to come within a 15 foot radius of your location. She likes to bite too, they out multiple muzzles on her only for her to chew through them. She's only ever docile with you, kinda. Just ignore the multiple bite marks around your arms.

Physical appearance: B cup, 140lbs, white long hair, pale as fuck, and violet eyes, 5'3

★azucar the Columbia sheep: I was hesitant to put azucar here since she's 17, legally a minor. I won't do any nsfw content with her because it makes me uncomfy. She can be the sweetest hybrid you ever met or the meanest. No in-between. Her moods flip like a light switch, unpredictable. She'll cuss you out in Spanish and then t-bag you. Talk about a hormonal teenager

Physical appearance: c cup, 137 lbs, curly white hair, pale skin, black eyes, 5'4

★wehrner the American black belly: he has daddy vibes, like he could bend you over his knee and spank your ass because you didn't address him as 'sir'. Bastard. You often catch him shamelessly fapping behind a tree in the fields, even when you freeze and stare at his impressive dick he doesn't stop, instead, inviting you to join him. And that's the story of how he got the cone of shame.

Appearance: 8 incher, 150 lbs, 5'7, long black and brown hair, grey eyes, peach skin, large horns curled around his ears

★Sally the angora goat: 'it's earthworm Sally! Carrying diseases from Florida to Cali!' That is her theme song fr. She's been fooling around with the neighboring farm's ram's so much you doubt she isn't carrying a couple STDs and maybe rabies too. Although she is very bubbly and cheerful, she just starts so much unnecessary drama with the other animals

Appearance: curly long white hair, pale skin, red eyes, D cup, 120 lbs, 5'6

★opal the Tennessee fainting goat: she's so tiny, and mean. She bit your ass and chest so many times you're always looking around your surroundings before entering the fields. Although recently you discovered a rather popular way to stun her and run away

Appearance: black straight hair (I bet she has split ends), peach colored skin, tiny horns on her head, 90 lbs, 4'10, A cup

★sasha the Australian cashmere goat: Sasha is quiet and stoic, but she doesn't hesitate to step in Incase somebody wants to start a fight. She's Kim's second favorite female (you're the first ofcourse)

Appearance: fluffy platinum blonde hair, pale skin, black eyes, small horns sprout from her head, B cup, 152 lbs, 5'9

★kim the dutch landrace goat: Kim can either be your angle or your debil. Yes that misspelling was intentional. More than once has he tried humping you, even convincing the girls to try and help him, except you keep running away. STOP RUNNING AWAY. Is it so bad he wants to impregnate you with his children!?

Appearance: long silky black-blond hair, bro is ripped, large horns curl around his head, 160 lbs, 5'11, 7 incher

[capradrake]

Capradrakes

Introducing an open species developed based on my personal fursona. They are dragon/goat hybrids, with a balance between freedom in design and structure in implementation. It was really fun to work out what specifically mattered to me in the physical traits of these lil guys. Their details are below the cut (but also written in the graphic). Feel free to send any questions to my askbox!

Absolute Musts:

Always digitigrade

Always have horizontal pupils (like goats)

Have hoofclaws (the specific anatomy detailed in the graphic, which has four toes)

General Rules/Considerations:

Main body is covered in goat-like fur. It can be inspired by any species or breed of goat (like the curly angora!)

The underbelly, palms, and soles of feet are made of reptilian ventral scales, similar to snakes (but can resemble any reptile.) These scales go up under the neck and end at the bottom jawbone.

Their ears can be upright/pricked, or floppy, similarly to real goats.

The tongue is forked.

They possess 3 sets of canines/fangs; 2 pairs on the top jaw, and 1 on the bottom. Their back teeth are herbivore molars.

Horns can be based on any real goat or sheep or other horned animal, or be completely fantastical. They should, however, emerge from the skull starting backwards, and should not too closely resemble the antlers of deer, moose, or other cervids.

Tails can be any length.

The head hair must connect to the mane which continues down 100% of the spine and tail, and ends tufted at the tailtip.

The jaw spikes are keratinous protrusions, and can be any size, any shape, and can simply be smooth or flat plates if desired.

The mouth has external lip structures which jut over the bottom jaw. These are furred, and have bone inside. These lead up to slit nostrils in the snout.

Fur covers the snout completely, save for the rims of the nostrils (look at real goats and rabbits for examples).

Facial hair is allowed, and grows along the chin and jawline until the jaw spikes.

Color/Pattern Restrictions:

Generally, every part of a Capridrake can be any color and any pattern you so wish. However, there are some parts which correlate, and must match:

Horns, claws, and jaw spikes are all keratin and must all be the same color.

The ventral scales of the torso, tail, palms, and soles must all be the same color or pattern.

The flesh of the mouth, tongue, inner ears, and nostrils must all be the same color (but can be various saturations of that color.) This is the color of the drake's flesh underneath the goat fur. This color can be different than that of the ventral scales.

Misc:

Any gender, any secondary characteristics, no limits or standards on the gender or sexual presentation of capradrakes. There is no sexual dimorphism.

Wings are optional, either completely or you can choose to have your drake shapeshift them on and off. When present, the wings have 3 flanges which each end in claws, as well as two vestigial claws at the palm. These claws match the color of the rest of the claws. The webbing of the wings can be either the flesh color, or the ventral color, but not a 3rd unique color, and can be patterned if desired.

Capridrake characters cannot be used for hate speech.

Characters cannot be used in paid media (such as games, comics, etc)

Characters can be made into adopts or fursuits for sale.

[goat-yells-at-everything]

So I've decided I'm not going to use acrylic or polyester yarn anymore in my crafts because the micro plastic industry needs to die.

You would think I was asking for gold and diamond yarn for how few options there are. Even a lot of the etsy yarns turn out to be blends with polyester in them!

I get it. Plastic yarn is cheaper and easier to make AND easier to work with, especially dark colors. But still!

Gawd I can't wait to have my goats or even angora rabbits. I'll make my own fucking yarn. Xc

Suits Can Be So Much Fun: 1960 Suit at Fashion and Nature

When many people think of suits, they think boring. But women’s suits from the early to late 20th Century were sometimes tons of fun. They came in all kinds of styles and fabrics, always being an important part of women’s wardrobes for office work and city outings. During the 1950s, they were often fitted through the waist, just like dresses were. You see here a simple, unfitted shape which was the early 1960s fashion and a straight skirt just below the knee.

This bright pink suit dates to 1960 according to the curators of Fashion and Nature at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. It has no label apparently which I find interesting. Is the label simply missing or was this custom made for someone? We do know it is made of mohair fabric which comes from the fibers of the angora goat which means it is soft and fuzzy. Mohair sweaters became an important fashion in sweaters in the late 1950s and early 1960s, so the fiber was trending. And the matching trim is actual fox fur which signaled luxury then.

The result is a stunningly playful suit perfect for an evening party. The shape itself is simple, but the color and the trim turn it into something dramatic. Keep this in mind as you consider making evening wear. A suit pattern, matched with the right fabric, could make something wonderful. So says a woman who is pondering making a suit jacket out of an old gold wool and silk suiting that has spent far too long in her sewing room.

During the whole process, from selecting the perfect Wensleydale curl to the dyeing of the fibres, she works solitary, relying on her instinct and enjoying the quietness, intimacy, peace and softness inherent to the material. . Getting to know the behavior of each type of fibre and playing with their features is what challenges her. By combining different breeds and sorts she creates a depth within the cloth. This gets magnified during dyeing, with each fibre reacting differently on the pigment, resulting in a three dimensional piece that reflects her emotions and her roots, as well as the drama and capriciousness of nature’s origin. ・ ・ こちらよりお問い合わせください。 TEL: 06-6449-8588 or MAIL: s_cavane@yahoo.co.jp ・ ・ ・ 商品価格についてお問い合わせはメール、またはonline shopの(お問い合わせ)、インスタグラムのDMよりご連絡をお願い致します。 . . #BIEKVERSTAPPEN #donegalfabric #amsterdam #artisan #classiclstyle #vintage #handmade #handdyed #farmerstyle #shirtcoat #herringbone #ヴィンテージ #ヘリンボーン #テーラード #リネンシャツ #シャツコート #アルチザン #アムステルダム (Cavane) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmNTHfcvzVS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We raise Angora and Colored Angora Goats! They grow amazing mohair!! For more than 20 years we’ve been breeding for fineness, softness, luster, curl and good healthy animals. Yes, on our farm there are a few that are pets, but our girls are career girls that grow fiber for our yarn and roving. They get shorn twice a year, usually fall and spring. This is Kevin Hickman of @sheargrazing He does an excellent job. Kevin has been shearing since he was a teenager. He has shorn in a number of different countries, all over the US, has competed; he mainly shears sheep but also does goats. He did a great job today!

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Mohair Cardigan

As the temperatures drop and the air becomes crisp, there's nothing quite like wrapping yourself in the warmth and softness of a mohair cardigan. Known for its luxurious texture, insulating properties, and timeless style, the mohair cardigan is a must-have addition to any wardrobe. However, with so many options available, finding the right mohair cardigan can be overwhelming. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about choosing the perfect mohair cardigan. From understanding mohair fiber to selecting the right style and caring for your cardigan, we'll provide valuable insights to help you make an informed decision and stay cozy in style.

Understanding Mohair Cardigans:

Mohair is a natural fiber derived from the fleece of Angora goats. Known for its softness, luster, and durability, mohair is prized for its luxurious feel and insulating properties. Mohair cardigans are knitted garments made from mohair yarn, offering warmth, comfort, and style. Whether you're lounging at home, running errands, or attending a casual gathering, a mohair cardigan adds an element of sophistication and coziness to any outfit.

Key Factors to Consider:

Quality of Mohair: When choosing a mohair cardigan, prioritize quality mohair yarns that are soft, plush, and free from imperfections. Look for cardigans made from 100% mohair or blends with other natural fibers such as wool or silk for added strength and durability. High-quality mohair fibers are lightweight, breathable, and resistant to pilling, ensuring long-term wear and comfort.

Style and Design: Mohair cardigans come in a variety of styles and designs to suit different preferences and occasions. Consider factors such as length, fit, neckline, and detailing when selecting a cardigan style. Whether you prefer a classic crewneck, a cozy oversized silhouette, or a trendy cropped length, choose a style that complements your personal style and flatters your body type.

Color Selection: Mohair cardigans are available in a wide range of colors, from timeless neutrals to bold statement hues. Consider your existing wardrobe and personal color preferences when selecting a cardigan color. Neutral tones such as beige, gray, and black are versatile and easy to mix and match with different outfits, while vibrant colors like red, teal, or mustard add a pop of personality to your look.

Texture and Knit Pattern: Pay attention to the texture and knit pattern of the mohair cardigan, as it can significantly impact the overall look and feel of the garment. Mohair cardigans may feature classic ribbed knits, cozy cable knits, or intricate lace patterns. Choose a texture and knit pattern that aligns with your style preferences and complements your wardrobe staples.

Comfort and Fit: Comfort is key when selecting a mohair cardigan, so ensure that the cardigan offers a comfortable fit and allows for ease of movement. Consider factors such as sleeve length, shoulder width, and overall silhouette to ensure a flattering and comfortable fit. If purchasing online, refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer and read customer reviews for additional insights on fit and sizing.

Care and Maintenance: Proper care and maintenance are essential for preserving the quality and longevity of your mohair cardigan. Follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer, which typically include hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent and laying flat to dry. Avoid hanging or wringing out the cardigan, as this can stretch or distort the fibers. Additionally, store your mohair cardigan in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and damage.

Conclusion:

Choosing the right mohair cardigan is a delightful process that allows you to embrace coziness and style simultaneously. By considering factors such as mohair quality, style and design, color selection, texture and knit pattern, comfort and fit, and care and maintenance, you can select a mohair cardigan that not only keeps you warm and comfortable but also reflects your unique personality and aesthetic. Whether you opt for a classic crewneck in a neutral tone or a statement-making oversized silhouette in a vibrant color, a mohair cardigan is sure to become a beloved staple in your wardrobe for years to come. With the guidance provided in this ultimate guide, you'll be well-equipped to choose the perfect mohair cardigan and stay cozy in style throughout the seasons.

Common cotton fabrics include denim, gingham, canvas and broadcloth

The list of fabric available on the market is endless. What are the most popular fabrics and why? Versatility, durability, and ease of care are some of the reasons. Read on for a list of the worlds most popular textiles, their uses and care, and what makes them so sought after.1.Cotton leads the pack as the most popular fabric in the world. It is a natural fiber from the cotton plant and is versatile and easy to care for. Cotton has been cultivated for over 7,000 years and only increases in popularity as time goes on. It is often blended with other fibers to create garments that last longer and wash better.

Common cotton fabrics include denim, gingham, canvas and broadcloth. Cotton  can absorb up to 27 times its own weight in water; is machine washable and can withstand high heat; takes and retains dye color easily; and is strong and durable. Cotton can be used to make shirts, dresses, skirts, pants, jackets, children’s clothes, curtains and other window treatments.2.Linen, made from the fibers of the flax plant, has been coveted for many thousands of years. Linen has always been a symbol of purity and wealth. Produced in small quantities, this luxurious fabric is valued for its coolness and freshness in hot weather and its remarkable ease of care. Linen is a strong, cool fabric that doesn’t cling to skin and is two to three times stronger than cotton. Linen can absorb moisture without feeling damp. If a warm breeze blows a skirt or dress made from Polyester Microfiber Comforter Sets it will return to your skin cool to the touch. High-quality linens are free from slubs (those small knots along the fabric) and present a uniformly smooth texture that is beautiful to the touch. Linen can be used in home décor, and in mens’ and womens’ apparel including skirts, dresses, blouses, and shirts. Linen can be dry cleaned, machine washed or steamed. It may be hung to dry and left with a slightly wrinkled look which is part of the charm of the fabric.3.Polyester is a popular synthetic fabric that has many advantages over its natural counterparts. While synthetic clothing in general is perceived by many as having a less natural feel, polyester offers superior wrinkle resistance, durability and machine washability.  Polyester is often blended with other yarns to create wonderful fabrics that mix the benefits of both textiles, like dressy uniform fabrics and professional wear. Synthetic fibers also can create materials with superior water, wind and environmental resistance compared to plant-derived fibers.4.Wool fiber comes from sheep and other animals like cashmere and mohair from goats, and angora from rabbits. Wool is bulkier than other fabrics and retains heat well making it perfect for cold weather. Wool is usually specified for garments for fire-fighters, soldiers, and others in occupations where they are exposed to the likelihood of fire because it ignites at a higher temperature than cotton or other fabrics.

Wool is resistant to static electricity which is why wool garments are much less likely to spark or cling to the body. Australia is the leading producer of wool, especially high quality Merino from the sheep of the same name. Wool can be used in high-quality suits and several types of men’s and women’s apparel and outerwear.5.Leather is a flexible and durable material created when animal hide is transformed by a process called tanning. The majority of leather today is tanned via chrome tanning, a process discovered in 1858. Chrome tanning is more supple and pliable than vegetable-tanned leather, and does not discolor or lose shape as drastically in water as vegetable-tanned leather. Most leather is made from cow hide but there are many other types of leathers available including suede, aniline, Corinthian and patent. Leather is a versatile material that can be used in upholstery and apparel including automobile interiors, furniture coverings, skirts, pants, jackets, shoes, handbags, and other accessories.

Turkish Angora: Size, Weight, Grooming Know Full Information

Known for their long, ballerina-like bodies and silky fur, Turkish Angora is treasured in their native Turkey. Despite their delicate appearance and relatively small size, however, Turkish Angoras are affectionate and playful with their owners, children, and other pets as long as the other pets know that the Angora is boss.

A naturalized breed that originated in Turkey in the early 15th century, the Turkish Angora was long considered a solid white cat with blue or green eyes. Today, however, it is widely accepted that Turkish Angoras can come in many different colors and variations, including Himalayan, calico, tortoiseshell, and tabby.

Origin: Turkey

HEIGHT: 9–14 inches

WEIGHT: 8–15 pounds

Lifespan: 9-14 years

Breed Characteristics

Turkish Angoras have a friendly and sociable personality, so they thrive in a home with lots of love and attention. Compared to other cats, the Turkish Angora is somewhat needy and does not like to be alone. He appreciates the constant company of his owner or other pets.

History

As the name suggests, the Turkish Angora originated in Turkey. In the 16th century, the city of Ankara (formerly Angora) was home to many animals with long, fine, silky hair—including goats, rabbits, and what many believe to be the first long-haired cats.

The Turkish Angora quickly caught the attention of European cat fans. But when Persian cats gained popularity in the early 1900s, breeders began using Angoras primarily in their Persian breeding programs.

As a result, Angoras almost disappeared as a separate breed. Fortunately, the Ankara Zoo set out to save this beautiful breed. They developed a breeding program that focused on preserving cats with white coats and blue, golden, or strange eyes.

For years, Turkish Angoras mostly stayed in their country of origin. But when American soldiers reported seeing the breed at the Ankara Zoo, interest in the United States began to grow.

The zoo initially resisted exporting the cats. It was not until 1962 that they introduced a breeding pair to Colonel and Mrs. Walter Grant. The resulting litter became the foundation of the Angora breeding program in the US.

The Cat Fanciers Association accepted white angoras for championship competitions in 1972, followed by colored angoras in 1978.
