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. The white and grey is 100% German angora; the tan is Satin.
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.
At this time, our handspun 100% angora skeins are 70 yards (approx. 1-1.3 ounce) and white. We consider them worsted weight.
We also currently have a batch of millspun white. These skeins are 50% German angora and 50% merino. Each skein is 200 yards and weighs between 3-3.4 ounces. We consider it light worsted.
