Your rabbits are beautiful.

Real sweet. After consideration I will probably try and get mostly smaller of the two breeds (French and angora) if I can get them for about the same due to less food consumption because in winter I will have to provide hay for them. Do you own a satin angora? Really cute rabbit. 👍

That's cool. A mix like that is most likely the best because it should have a bit softer fur + weight a bit less I'd assume.

That breed I will hopefully get as well. Thank you for the info. I was wondering, by any chance do you own English Angora rabbits and/or French angora rabbits? I'm trying to figure out which one is a better choice. I know they both produce about the same amount of fur according to a source but...

THAT would be shocking. Do you think that hurts the rabbit? I saw someone do that in a video and said it won't hurt the rabbit but I wonder.

Agreed. I may even start with buying wool and a hand drop spindle to start learning or depending how soon maybe even sheep wool from are own sheep if we get some. My family hopes to in the future get sheep for meat. I didn't even think about buying wool until you mentioned it. Thx,

Thank you for this info @NatJ . I plan to start with only a few and learn how to pin and as I get good at it then expand the number of rabbits accordingly. I hope to get good enough to use it as both self sufficiency and possibly an income source. I also plan to have the outdoors in rabbit...

Thank you for this info. How much rabbit wool do you need to make a roll of yarn? Also, may I ask if I brushed out their fur frequently would I have to shear their fur to prevent hairballs or is brushing enough? Thank you.

I have just learned about people using Angora rabbits for wool. I have no knowledge of spinning wool but I was wondering do you shear the fur off and then spin it? If I ever did this the rabbits involved would be pets so I wouldn't cull them to remove their fur. How many rabbits worth of fur...
