This picture shows the difference between red and chocolate agouti Satin Angora wool after its spun.    Looking at them, its hard to imagine that people can look at one of my chocolate agoutis and think they are reds.    On the rabbit, the chocolate agouti tips tend to blend into the red and make them look like a darker color of red.   But something about the twisting of the fiber as its spun into yarn really brings out the chocolate.   Both colors are so beautiful; the red is bright and rich, and the chocolate agouti has a more subtle beauty in the play of different colors and shading throughout the yarn.    If you notice a difference in texture in the  two yarns, the red on top was spun about a year ago and has been handled a lot, which causes it to "bloom" and look fuzzier.  The chocolate agouti skein on the bottom was just finished about 10 minutes before I snapped the picture.
