Blue Tort English Angora Rabbit Wool from Starshine - 1 Ounce
Spin from the cloud with all natural rabbit fur from my blue tortoiseshell doe Starshine. She is a pure breed of Angora rabbit known as an English Angora. Her luxurious wool is a light beige color over back that shades to a light blue on her flanks, haunches, and belly. Her fibers are ethically collected when it naturally sheds by a combination of combing and gentle hand pulling.

My beautiful natural English Angora rabbit wool is hand & comb pulled right here on my family farm. You get 100% pure fiber with nothing added. Pulling the wool when the coat is naturally shedding does not harm the rabbit & most enjoy the special attention. While I pull & groom them I give them plenty of ear head & cheek petting which they just love!
Angora rabbits need regular grooming & occasional pulling. It is easy to tell when they need to be pulled (about every 100 days) because they start to shed terribly & their wool comes out very easy. If it is hard to pull, it is not time to pull! Simple as that! In the warmer months our bunnies appreciate me reducing their thick warm coat! Angora wool is 9 times warmer than sheep wool!
I do not cut or shave my bunnies fur. Fiber that has been hand pulled from the rabbit is superior over shaved or clipped wool. Not only are the fibers longer, stronger, & healthier; allergens are released when the hair shaft is cut or broken (as would be the case in rabbits that are shaven). So if you find you are allergic to Angora this might be why! Try pulled wool instead.
