Fuzzy Fiber Projects

When knitted, the Fuzzy x Merino blend yarn gives out nice halo.







There are six recognized wool breed rabbits in the ARBA standard: English Angora, French Angora, Giant Angora, Satin Angora, American Fuzzy Lop and Jersey Wooly. The four breeds of Angora are normally associated with fiber projects. Fuzzy Lop and Jersey Wooly, though have shorter wool, they are also suitable for fiber projects.

Carol G. not only is a top breeder of Fuzzy Lop and Jersey Wooly and an accomplished judge, she is also a very talented fiber artist. Look at the yarns that she spun out of Fuzzy Lop wool, and also the fingerless gloves that she knitted, they are as beautiful, fluffy and soft as our Angora products. It is hoped that she will inspire other Fuzzy and Wooly breeders to utilize their wool and join the rank of fiber enthusiasts.
