Angora Amore' is just that - we love our angora rabbits! Angora rabbit wool is wonderfully soft and incredibly warm (7 times warmer than wool).

It is totally renewable, too. No, the rabbit is never killed to get the fiber but rather given a haircut, similar to shearing a sheep for its wool, except our bunnies get a haircut about 3 times a year. Maintaining the coat and removing it regularly is, in fact, essential to the rabbit's health. Improperly cared for, an angora rabbit can develop wool block which is a condition that can be fatal. Our bunnies are sheared (not plucked) in a gentle, nonrestrained manner when the coat reaches about 3 inches in length. Because we use this longer fiber and because our processing never includes exposure to harsh chemicals, our angora products are less prone to "shedding."

Our fiber goes straight from the bunny to the spinning wheel. All the angora yarn we use is hand spun from the fur of our own bunnies. The finished skeins are then washed and used in their natural shades or go on to be dyed many lovely colors.

Our products are all hand knit. We literally go from bunny to booties!

The hang tag that comes with the product you purchase includes washing instructions (hand wash) and on 100% angora items will tell you the name of the bunny who donated the fiber that was used to produce your hat, mittens, socks, etc.

Our yarn doesn't have a dye lot; it has a name!

During our fall and winter craft show season, it is possible that an item you are looking at here may have sold that day on location. If that happens, I will contact you to discuss options. Very often an item can be remade, though the exact same colors may not be guaranteed due to dye lot changes. Every effort will be made on our part to ensure that you are happy!
