Other bunny fur is probably just as soft, but because its very short, it’s hard (impossible?) to spin. I still think it will make nice fluffy bits.

I have only a drop spindle now with which to spin, but one day (especially after we sheer our sheeps) I’d like to get a wheel. Once Andy is here, I’ll try to post some photos of my drop spindle spinning adventures so far.

I have a big ball of cat fur. I told my mom I was gonna spin it and make her a scarf. Bwahahaah. I’ll call it the Allergy Scarf!

I think only angora rabbits have angora fur, but I’m no bunny expert. I did find it neat that German Angora rabbits don’t shed like other angoras, so instead of plucking them, you shear them a few times a year. Imagine shearing a herd of rabbits!

I didn’t know you could do that. Bunny fur is angora, isn’t it? You have the apparati to spin? That’s cool! Tell me more about that! You guys are so neat!
