For those that have been following along... do you remember when I went to the Midwest Folk & Fiber show up in Grayslake last summer? I went there to find some unique yarn to crochet with and I ended up coming home with an English Angora rabbit! Meet Funny. Funny Bunny. My mistake was bringing my daughter Kelsey along... how could I not let her get the cutest bunny in the world. Those people had us hook, line, and sinker! They were like, " You can harvest the angora and spin your own wool." How cool would that be!! Needless to say -- I haven't done it yet, but... I did finally harvest the wool. Is angora wool?? Yes, yes it is.
Pretty funny, huh?? OMG was Funny little under all that fluff. I didn't do a very good job trimming and my fiber was too short. But next time I will no longer be a novice... I will be an experienced angora rabbit trimmer, and I will harvest like the best of 'em! But for now... not so much :(
Funny was so good -- I think she may have actually enjoyed all the attention. I wonder if she feels naked?? Now I just have to harvest her about 45 more times and I'll have enough to make a baby scarf -- ha ha ha
