Angora Wool Yarn for Crochet and Knitting

The Captivating Story of Angora Yarn

Angora wool or angora fiber refers to the downy coat produced by the angora rabbit. Although their names are similar, angora fiber is distinct from mohair, which comes from the angora goat, and cashmere, which comes from the cashmere goat. Angora is renowned for its exceptional softness, thin fibers, and the distinctive "halo" (fluffiness) that knitters adore. It is also known for its silky texture and is much warmer and lighter than wool, owing to the hollow core of the angora fiber, which gives it a characteristic floating feel.

Angora's primary distinguishing feature is its plush surface texture and ultra-soft touch, but did you know it is also one of the warmest natural fibers? This luxurious yarn reflects the complexity of the harvesting process and the relatively small number of producers. Blending angora with other wool types not only diminishes the softness and fluffiness of a garment but also increases the cost. Commercially produced knitting yarns typically contain 30-50% angora. Angora rabbits produce fibers in a variety of colors, including white, beige, brown, grey, and black.

Angora wool can be used in many different ways. It can be crafted into a wide range of apparel, such as sweaters, jackets, skirts, and scarves, as well as home textile items like throws and blankets. It is also used for producing knitting yarns and felting projects.
