Angora hair or Angora fibre refers to the downy coat produced by the Angora rabbit. While their names are similar, Angora fibre is distinct from mohair, which comes from the Angora goat. Angora fibre is also distinct from cashmere, which comes from the cashmere goat. Angora is known for its softness, thin fibres, and what knitters refer to as a halo (fluffiness). It is also known for its silky texture. It is much warmer and lighter than wool due to the hollow core of the angora fibre. It also gives them their characteristic floating feel.
Angora rabbits produce coats in a variety of colours, from white through tan, gray, and brown to black. Good quality Angora fibre is around 12-16 micrometres in diameter, and can cost as much as $10–16 per ounce (35 to 50 cents/gram). It felts very easily, even on the animal itself if it is not groomed frequently.
Yarns of 100% angora are typically used as accents. They have the most halo and warmth, but can felt very easily through abrasion and humidity and can be excessively warm in a finished garment. The fibre is normally blended with wool to give the yarn elasticity, as Angora fibre is not naturally elastic. The blend decreases the softness and halo as well as the price of the finished object. Commercial knitting yarns typically use 30–50% angora, in order to produce some halo, warmth, and softness without the side effects of excessive felting.

These guys looked so excited to be joining the fun at the festival.
I was just amazed to see this. The rabbit was entirely comfortable and seemed to love the snuggle time, and this woman spun beautiful yarn straight from her pet. Amazing. We're probably going to get angoras soon, and maybe some day, I can do this, too. Check out more of our farm life at godswhisperfarm.com
Katie and I demonstrate how I wash fleece....alpaca, wool, and mohair. This is a simple, inexpensive (by comparison) way to clean fleece for those that are not worried about maintaining perfect lock structure. Beth's Fleece Washing Formula: 8 oz raw fleece to 1 gal hot water (our tap water is 130 degrees, plenty hot!) to 1 TBS Dawn dish detergent (blue) to 1 1/2 Cups Simple Green ( I prefer the Lemon Scented) Again, this formula will have to be adjusted depending on the type of fleece you are washing so don't be afraid to experiment a little! I find that the Simple Green does not dry fleece out so don't worry about adding to much. To purchase combs, hackles, & fiber visit Blue Mountain Handcrafts at http://www.bluemountainhandcrafts.com
