French Angora (15 μm)

The fluffiest, whitest, warmest fiber we’ve ever seen. Shepherd Textiles French Angora Roving is the soft down brushed from French angora rabbits. It makes exceptionally warm yarns—the fibers are hollow, which helps trap heat—and they have a beautiful, fluffy halo. With a staple length of 3” and measuring approximately 15 microns, it is as soft as cashmere, although it has a very different, wispy texture. This is a luxurious fiber meant for very special projects. Our angora roving comes from France, and only from farms that are registered and inspected by the Ministère de l'agriculture to confirm that the bunnies are raised and brushed humanely, and never painfully plucked. An excellent choice for projects that require maximum warmth while still being as soft as possible on the skin.
