Pure English Angora yarn

Approx 330ft (give or take a couple feet cause miscounting)

Weighs 86g

Took me approximately 6-8 hours to spin with my drop spindle.

Fun fact - angora fibre is lighter than, however it can be up to 7 times WARMER than fleece. Not much in the natural world is as insulating and soft as angora fibre.

Typically angora fibre is blended with other fibres to make it easier to spin and to give it some elasticity. I enjoy spinning and crocheting it on its own though ☺️

Angora yarn is perfect for delicate items that are warm close to the skin and do not require a tight fit or structure my shape. It makes beautiful scarves, cowls, shawls and lightweight baby clothes ☺️

This whole skein is a gift for a friend, however I plan to make a few small balls and put them out at the stand and to bring to future markets 👌

If you’re interested in angora bunnies and all there is to know about their care and using their fibre please comment below or send me a message ☺️

ATTENTION Bunny lovers, fibre artists and gardeners!

I have 5 pure male English angoras (the first 5 bunnies pictured) and 1 angora x Rex mix with spinnable fibre available (last 3 pictures).

I was hoping for some sun to attempt better pictures but that doesn’t seem to be in the forecast and shearing time is coming up, so I figured I’ll make do and take some fluffy pictures before they’re all sheared!

Their fibre is over 3 inches long and starting to shed something fierce which is my sign it’s time to shear. As well with warmer weather coming (hopefully? 🤔) I want to keep my bunnies cool ☺️ heat and bunnies do not mix, shorter coats allows them to expel heat easier and cozy up to the frozen water bottles I put in their hutches when the temps go above 28C.

As you can see from the last picture, shearing has begun. The mixed guy must have been having a blast rolling around wherever he could because he was covered in little mats and knots. So I decided to shear him today before that little knots and mats turned in to big ones!

If you’re interested in a bunny or have any questions feel free to send a message ☺️

What a season for goats! I should be buying a lottery ticket because out of all 6 kids… 5 were doelings and so many with blue eyes!

All births went really well. This is Heidi’s second time and she surprised us with 3 girls! Hazel was blessed with a single doeling, who although born with a double eye infection, has been recovering beautifully! Sugar decided to end our season with one of each 🥹

All doelings are available and will be ready for new homes in approx 8 weeks. The little buckling is already tentatively sold, but everyone else is available ☺️

Let milking and cheese making season BEGIN!! 😍😍

Message with any questions or for prices ☺️

Edit: 3 doe are left, the brown and try-colour have been reserved 😊

Our last kit left out of the mixed litter!

He was born March 20th. Agouti colour.

Male.

Angora x Rex

Great pet or meat rabbit breeder. The mix of angora helps create a really nice lush pelt to work with, while still having a great meat to bone ratio come harvest time 👍

Message me with any questions and for price ☺️
