We have been dying angora fiber this week. Here is a little peek of what we have done so far.
This is one of our English Angoras:

How beautiful! What a fascinating process~ from rabbit to useable yarn. My daughter had wanted to get angora rabbits. Thanks for the great pics:))
I am working on doing some videos to post of the grooming dying and spinning so that people can see how it is done, and hopefully people will quit asking how we are able to kill the rabbits for the fiber :))) (we dont of course!))
