French Angora Rabbit Wool

French Angora rabbits have wonderful fiber, it is amazingly soft and super warm. It is actually softer then cashmere. It brings the meaning of "cloud soft" to a whole new level. And Angora wool is about 8 times warmer then sheep wool! And because it is such a light weight fiber you can have the warmth without the weight!

Plus the French Angora wool can be hand plucked off the rabbit when they are ready to naturally lose their current coat. Some people even spin the fiber right off the rabbit while it sits in their lap. Plus when their wool is ready to be hand plucked, their next coat is already growing in under their current coat. So after you finish collecting the current long coat the rabbit already has a lovely shorter coat still on it.

The guard hair that is naturally mixed in with their wool is what gives the French Angora yarn the classic fluffy "halo look". And the guard hair also helps keep the rabbits from getting mats as easily. Making it a win-win for you and the sweet rabbit.
