Angora wool

Angora wool comes from the fur of a specific European rabbit breed that originates from the Turkish province of Ankara, once called Angora.

The Angora rabbit is also often bred as a pet and has a large body and long, soft fur, which is usually white, but can sometimes be shades of beige, brown, grey or black.

The wool is gathered about 3/4 times a year, either by shearing or combing, especially during the moulting period. The best quality comes from the back and upper flanks of the rabbit.

 

Angora fibre

Angora fibre is used mainly for clothing, especially luxury knitwear, and is ideal for making cardigans and pullovers. It is an extremely fine fibre that is soft and delicate, which can be very comfortable in contact with the skin. Angora wool fibres are practically hollow, giving a strong sensation of warmth.
