Handspun French Angora Yarn

Handspun on a Schacht Flatiron spinning wheel from our own French Angora fiber. This medium-weight 100% angora rabbit yarn is super-soft and exceptionally warm. Angora traps heat better than just about any other fiber, and this yarn would be an excellent addition to a hat, scarf, or pair of mittens intended to be worn in very cold weather. Angora yarn of this weight is unavailable commercially—hand-spinning is the only way to get it. It is already beginning to “bloom,” or develop a halo, and it will develop further as it is worked. The listed skein is approximately 5.9 oz. (more than a third of a pound of pure French angora!) and 120 yards long. Handwash in cold water; lay flat to dry.
