Is anyone else besides me frustrated at all the information provided in these micron tests? It is really off-putting to a new breeder and honestly, the confusion makes me just want to ignore them completely. Just curious as to whether anyone else feels the same way.
As a spinner and knitter, I'm starting to think why bother with testing, I go more by the feel of the yarn than anything else nowadays. One of our mediocre micron count females produces our very best yarn on the ranch. Can someone please explain to me why we need lower microns if the yarn produced by higher micron animals is better quality? Isn't that what we are raising these animals for, better yarn quality or lower micron counts?
