Answer:
Angora hair or Angora fiber is the downy coat produced by the Angora rabbit.
The fiber is normally blended with the wool to give the yarn elasticity, as angora fiber is not naturally elastic.
Angora is known for its softness, thin fibers, fluffiness and it’s silky texture.
- It is much warmer and lighter than wool as the Angora fibers have a hollow core which gives them a floating feel.
- Angora rabbit produces fibers in a variety of colors from tan, grey, brown to black.
- There are different types of Angora breed: English, French, Satin, and Giant.
Angora fiber is different from mohair which comes from the Angora goat. Angora fiber is also distinct from cashmere, which comes from the cashmere goat. Angora wool is highly prized hair of the Angora rabbit. It is harvested periodically throughout the year by brushing or shearing the rabbit. It is six times warmer than sheep’s wool. The space inside the hair traps warm air and maintains its temperature.
