ANGORA FIBRE
 |
|
Angora rabbits are shorn
every 90 days and produce approx 300gms per shear, approx 1 kg per year.
This can be blended with
fine merino wool, or cotton to make a lovely product for knitting yarn.
Angora fibre is blended with wool to make a fine fabric for men's suits - or
for thermal underwear. It can be blended with alpaca, wool, or cotton to
make a very fine high quality fabric which has a top of the range niche
market. |
