Humanely clipped from our own rabbits. You will receive 20 grams each of, satin, French, giant and English. Plus 20 gm of dyed Angora. Fiber is raw not processed. Colors of actual fiber may vary.
Our bunnies enjoy living in the Pacific Northwest by the ocean. Every 3-4 months they get a haircut and share their fiber with the world.
Satin Angoras Shiny, sparkly, and spectacular sums up satin angoras. A newer breed, first accepted to the ARBA in 1987, they are a perfect dual purpose angora with a wonderful fiber, and commercial body type. Weight can range between 6.5 and 9 pounds. They are sweet and inquisitive, and tend to bond strongly to their human. Spinning satin angora is most easily compared to spinning an angora/silk blend with beautiful sheen in the finished yarn.
English Angoras English are the opposite of satins, where satins are sleek and smooth, English are an Ewok come to life. "What is it!?" is what most people ask. English grow an incredibly dense coat with amazing crimp. They are clownish, happy, outgoing bunnies. Featuring a compact body type, they should look like a ball from all angles, and be 5 - 7.5 pounds in weight. Of course what most people first notice are their incredible furnishings, which give them a trademark look. Spinning English is very similar to spinning a very fine crimpy merino. Their coats do require a bit more care, due to the density, and facial furnishings, but they are well worth the work. Nothing spins like English.
Giant Angoras Giant angoras are the 2nd rarest breed in the US according to many rare breed lists. Developed in the 1980's, they are a commercial type LARGE rabbits. Their fiber has a 3 phase coat, which should be easy to groom. It has incredible density. Giants are clownish, and extremely outgoing and sweet. They only are recognized in white, though they do come in colors with many being worked with to accept in the future.
French Angoras French Angoras, are extremely popular due to their great commercial body style, and easy care coat. As a senior, they will have a prominent guard hair. Their fiber halos beautifully, and they molt out a profuse coat on a regular schedule. Their are sweet mellow rabbits, slightly larger than a Satin Angora.
