ANGORA FIBER

ANGORA FIBER3

A nna Rose Farm raises this premier rabbit .This breed has a big under coat. If the texture is correct, it requires less maintenance than other Angora breeds. Small ear tufts are allowed, but not usually preferred by breeders. ARBA recognizes the same colors as with English Angora, plus broken. They are shown at ARBA shows using the types “white” and “colored” (broken being a colored). As with other ARBA shown rabbits, toenails should also be only one color.

T he French Angora is one of the large Angora breeds at 7.5 to 10 lbs., with a commercial body type. It differs from the English, Giant and German Angora in that it possesses a clean (hairless) face and front feet, with only minor tufting on the rear legs. The color of a French Angora is determined by the color of its head, feet and tail (all the same color). This variety of angora fiber has smooth silky texture making it difficult to spin. Desirable characteristics of the fiber include its texture, warmth, light weight, and pure white color. It is used for sweaters, mittens, baby clothes and millinery.
