Natural fiber yarns are having new attention laid on them from the recent surge in knitting. One of the most popular types of natural yarns is angora yarn. For reasons we will discuss the wool on any clothing garment provides a luxurious look that is also great for comfort and even better for that cozy light warmth.

This material is attained by the combing or shearing of Angora rabbits through a harmless process to this docile and sweet natured creature.

Since this breed of rabbit is ideal for stationary settings, many urban and residential fans have been able to raise, spin and dye their own yarn comfortably from their own homes!

Angora yarn can even be blended in case of its fluffy quality needing to be reduced. Many Angora blends include sheep's wool and acrylic fibers. These blends can help the light Angora fibers stay in their place.

There Are Even Further Benefits to Angora Wool

If one is a fan of this special and luxurious material, they know that there are additional benefits beyond its unique appearance and comfortable feel. Angora yarn has been proven by research to be seven (yes, seven!) times more warm than traditional sheep's wool. This makes it one of the warmest fibers known, all the while maintaining its incredible lightness.

It achieves this special trait by its fibers being hollow strands. What the hollow chamber acts as is an insulating element. And covered all over a clothing garment, this makes for a very comfortable warmth that is great for the colder seasons.

Angora yarn is extremely light and has an "airy" aspect to it. This results in their raising up from the base of the garment to have a certain "fur like" halo extending out. This has been considered for centuries as a quality and luxurious feature to the clothes made from this material.

And as this is a natural fiber, one could dye Angora yarn with any color one'd like.

As we've read, this product has amazing versatility. Nevertheless, Angora rabbit wool is also one of the most aesthetically pleasing yarns.
