Angora Handspun by Daylilly B True Angoras

Please note that skein sizes change with every batch of handspun we receive.  Photographs below are intended to show color and not necessarily skein or cake size.

Sandra, of Daylilly B True Angoras in Windsor, just loves her rabbits, and loves hand- spinning their fiber too!  She has a variety of breeds and collects their fiber by either shearing or brushing. 

When angora is knitted, crocheted, or woven, it creates and incredibly warm fabric as well as a beautiful halo.  Because of the loft of this fiber, it can be worked at a range of needle or hook sizes, as well worked alternately with another yarn.  In general, we would gauge this yarn as a dk/light worsted unless otherwise noted.

 Angora yarn in cakes:

The black (light grey) is 100% German angora (sheared) is spun at a heavy worsted weight.     

The chocolate is 100% Satin angora (plucked) is spun at a worsted weight.

The fawn is 100% Satin angora, (plucked) is spun at a worsted weight.

The white is either 100% French angora (plucked) spun at a dk weight or 100% German (plucked) and also spun at a dk weight.
