Spinning Angora on a Spinoluiton Monarch - Fine Fibers on a production wheel
When I first started on my spinning journey 17 years ago, the internet was in its early stages and
YouTube was nonexistent (at least to my knowledge). In researching a small acreage fiber animal,
Angora rabbits were the animal that came up over and over again in articles and blogs. I didn’t even
know they existed. I went on a mission to find out everything I could about them. The one thing that
came up over and over again was the “fact” that you could not spin 100% Angora. Being the rule breaker
I am, I got two French Angoras and said “watch me”. My “farm” knowledge at that time was riding on
the back of my grandpa’s tractor and chickens. All these years later I have my own little “flock” of
beautiful Angoras.
