Betty's Fiber Display At Monterey Fair

In the Monterey Fair, in addition to showing rabbits, Betty also put on a display of the products made from her bunnies.

People were fascinated by the hats, scarves, yarns and the raw wool from her rabbits. In one of the other buildings there were wool auctions going on; and lots of people were familiar with wool from sheep, alpaca, llama, goat... etc. They thought that all wool needed to be washed, picked, carded and cleaned; they were amazed to learn that Angora wool from rabbits do not need to go through any of these process. The rabbits are impeccably clean, and the wool would go from the rabbit's body to the spinning wheel directly.
