  • I'm spinning angora rabbit fiber to duplicate a discontinued yarn and knit a vintage hat pattern from the 1960s. I will show you the entire process from carding and blending angora with Merino wool on my drum carder, spinning and dyeing the yarn, to knitting a beautiful beret with a classic angora halo. Let's get spinning!

    Wow. I've never seen the process from growing to raw fiber to actually balls of yarn. And then into a hat??? Wow. I can tell you had so much fun doing it!

    As someone who has 4 angora rabbits I tend to do pure blends of the individual but I've just had my Cotswold sheep sheared and plan on a blend. Shawls, scarfs and fingerless gloves are devine with 100% angora

    Having raised angora rabbits and Shetland sheep for many years, I primarily spun with 100% angora on a variety of wheels but preferred my Country Craftsman flax wheel. We hand harvested the ripe fiber, didn't shear, and had essentially no problem with knit and crocheted items shedding.

    As someone who grew up in the time those hats were appearing in pattern books, I can assure you that the aluminium needles are the more authentic choice. At that time, wooden and bamboo knitting needles were almost unknown in the English speaking world.
    My mother grew up in Argentina, where wooden needles were the norm in the early to mid 20th century. Plastic needles were becoming popular, at least in some parts of the English speaking world although knitters were firmly divided into two camps, those who routinely used them and those who wouldn't touch them.
    This is a fascinating video.

    Your hat is lovely! It suits you very well. I started knitting at probably age 4 or 5 (I'm in my 70s now) but I only started on a spindle about 15 years ago and got my first wheel five years ago. Consequently I'm a better knitter than a spinner. I'm in awe of your spinning. I used to see spindles demonstrations at craft fairs but didn't think I could figure out how to coordinate it all. How silly I was. You're an inspiration!

Like white which I started with. Dark brown that needs carded. and black and light tan. I'm hoping it can be made in a shaw, for the person who gave me the Alpaca fleece.

There are still evil humans harvesting the fibre by ripping it from the backs of screaming rabbits 🫣😢

    Such great info! I love spinning angora rabbit wool by itself so it is machine washable and dryable! We get an 8-10 inch staple length on our rabbits which helps alot for the halo to release but not disrupt the integrity of the yarn.
