What is Angora Wool?
Angora wool is an extraordinarily soft knitting fiber produced from the fur of the angora rabbit. It can only be spun from the hair of angora rabbits, while the product of angora goats is called mohair. Angora fiber has a very soft, silky texture and is usually 10 to 13 microns thick. The fibers are also hollow, which gives them loft and a characteristic floating feel. In addition, angora fibers are very short, which can effect stitch density when the knitter is using angora wool with a high percentage of angora.
