I am currently spinning some straight bunny fur from a crossbred french/angora rabbit doeling named "Je t'aime". She is owned by a friend of mine and is a beautiful hybrid rabbit. I have all of her first shearing and it's soft and quite long...very easy to spin...I have a Patrick Green Super Card and I have run this 'fleece' through the carder with only one pass and have gotten a batt that is very easy to spin from...although I must say bunny fur sticks to everything! I am really enjoying it and have some beigey white colored angora from a rabbit named Pontouf that I will start on next. My favorite spinning wheel, my schacht is currently out of commission and I will be sending it to Schacht Spindle company for repairs, but I am able to use my second favorite wheel, my Ashford Joy to spin this Angora fleece...
