I blend my fiber with about 30% wool by hand, then run it through a small Louet drum carder (hand crank, not electric - not yet, anyway). It takes a few passes...
Hi Terri, I have been spinning for years but have never spun straight angora. Since my rabbits are due for a clip I guess I will be learning. Is there...

Thanks for posting that, Karin! A good time was had by all. Eric Stewart said it was the best Angora specialty he'd ever judged. Janet ... Bailey, ... BOS: Sr ...
Well, angora is very slippery, you should start slowly until you get the hang of how it drafts. Once you get the control you want you can speed up. It...
Yeah! Karen kicked our butts!!! (in the nicest way!) Terri (ps. I was very pleased with my jrs comments) ... cleaned up:) Congrats!! ... Bailey, BOS: 6-8...
Flying is so expensive though. We can only afford the one trip each year to ARBA Convention. Did you have any Colored Giants shown in All Other Variety (AOV)? ...
Nope, no colored Giants to show - I think I would have to get a COD and ask for an exhibition only class to show them. At any rate, I am still working on...
I think in a specialty show you can have an exhibition only AOV class. You could use the Angora Standard for color in the SOP. I don't think you would need a...

Hi Linda, I have one! She is a very well bred, gold-tipped Steel, pure French Lop named King's Pewter. Her wool is awful, very dense but fine and mats if you...

I would love a floppy eared giant angora rabbit. I am confused by what really IS a Giant Angora though. What to they have to be in order to be considered a...
Karin, She is 4 years old. Yes her back does seem bony but her appetite is fine..if fact she is the best eater of the three rabbits I have. I don't actually...
Hello Judy, Thank you for the clarification. Glad to hear she is a good eater. Some do get bony as they age. We feed Milk Plus (similar to calf manna,...

Karin, What exactly is in calf manna? How much do you feed? I think I would like to try it for her since she does seem a little thin. I am keeping my ...
