Why Hand Spun?

Well... you can serve store–brand bread, bakery bread, or homemade bread fresh out of the oven. Likewise, you can knit with commercially spun yarns, more specialized mill spun yarn, or handspun yarn. All of these have their right place, but given a choice, you know which delights the palate! 

If you have never knit with handspun yarn, you need to try some and expect a real treat. 

What is the difference between handspun and commercially spun yarn?

Handspun yarn flows through your hands and feels alive. The warmth and ability to breathe inherent in natural fibers that are not machine spun, becomes apparent with the first stitch, and you know the finished garment will be cherished for generations. Handspun is like fine, aged wine from the winemaker's reserve, an original oil painting, a bouquet of fresh flowers. It's just sumptuous! Once you use handspun, you will want only to use materials produced with the same care and creative energy that you use in your knitting.

What can you do with hand spun yarn?

Anything! You can hand knit with it, you can machine knit with it, you can crochet, weave, needlepoint, embroider—whatever you can dream, you can do with handspun yarn.

Handspun yarn can be customized to choice of fiber, color, thickness (size) and blend. Given the amount of hours and skill that goes into knitting and the amount of delight expected for the wearing, I look for the ideal yarn to make the garment truly special. With all the options that are open to the handspinner and the feel of the resulting yarn, the final garment can be made exactly to your specifications and be a truly wonderful work of art! You owe yourself this treat!

The Nature of the Angora Rabbit

Nature provides the Angora Rabbit with a coat that sheds or molts periodically. This coat is easily removed by plucking when "ripe", with no damage to the rabbit, or may be sheared with electric clippers, or clipped with scissors. Unlike commercial angora we use only plucked angora which ensures that the length of the angora fiber is significant enough to stay part of the yarn and not shed. We also spinn it fine with high twist to eliminate shedding, and for a terrific fur looking!

Qualities of the Angora Yarn

Knitting, Weaving or Crocheting Angora Yarn is easy, as the nap doesn't appear until after the finished project is handled. Angora has all the qualities one could ask for. It is soft, strong, durable, comes in a large variety of colors, is lightweight, makes a fine yarn, takes dye readily, and has a natural downy nap.

Angora Rabbit Wool is softer, finer, and seven times warmer than sheep's wool. A natural fiber, it breathes, allowing body moisture to escape, keeping the wearer dry, as well as warm. It is ideal for baby garments, winter underwear, sweaters, hats, scarves, and mittens. Many people who find sheep's wool too irritable and scratchy, find Angora wool a beautiful alternative for warmth and comfort. Clothing articles made from Angora Wool are very durable and may be easily washed by hand in warm water with a mild soap and air dried.
