Angora, Super-soft White
100% Angora rabbit. Very fine and clean combed top, a lovely creamy-white shade. With a micron count of 11 to 13 this is amazingly soft. Staple length 2.5 inches. From Ashland Bay.
Angora is from bunnies, and is considered to be a superb luxury fibre. It's usually blended with a fine wool or other fine fibre. By itself, angora is extremely warm, eight times warmer than wool. Felting properties are good.
