Shearing Daphne is a pleasure because the fiber seems to melt away from my clippers. Each rabbit has a slightly different texture to their fiber, which is another reason why good breeding and genetics are so important. Overly cottony textured coats, for example, can be not only extremely prone to matting but difficult to shear as well. Sometimes if you are having a problem with your clippers not cutting through the Angora coats it’s time to look at the rabbit and not the shears.💗 | Cedar Hill F

The process starts with gently shearing Alice the Angora rabbit, and because the rabbits are so clean the fiber is immediately usable (the spun yarn will be washed later). This fiber was combined with wool on a blending board and made into rolags. The rolags are spun and chain plied into a gradient yarn which is then knit into a sweater. | Cedar Hill Fiber Farm | Facebook
