Angoras and Wool

[RedneckRabbits]

Is there anyone on tis forum that has experience with raising Angoras for wool or spinning and dyeing wool?

Sure, several of us raise angoras for wool, including me. I also spin the wool from my rabbits, not sure if anybody else does that or if they sell it to others instead. What questions do you have?

I raise Angoras (French) for wool. I also dye my own wool, blend wools, and spin yarn. I know of encountered several other spinners here. Are you considering Angoras? Do you spin already?

I have an angora and am learning to spin. My friend bred my buck with her does and now she has an excess of bunnies. I'd like to help her sell the ones she isn't going to keep for fiber production. How do you find homes for all these guys, she has people that buy rabbits from her, but she hasn't sold any yet.

I've put them on craigslist and get spam galore. I don't want to make a bunch of accounts for that reason. There's just so many, 19 made it out of 22 from only 2 does!! Oh and my buck Loki just got a blue ribbon at the fair where my son showed him. It was only 4H and my son's first project in 4H, I was shocked he got anything! It was the only blue ribbon given in the senior buck category.

This really isn't the place for advertising sales--try Hoobly.com, be persistent with Craigslist or consider an ad in a local newspaper. Good luck!
