Lanas Stop
Nature,
made in Spain

Lanas Nature is a very fuzzy, premium quality, natural and pure French angora yarn in double knit weight and solid colours. Even its put-ups are 10 gr balls, it is feather-weight, and there are 50 m per ball. Two balls are enough to knit a hat in a simple K-and-P stitch pattern. Expensive.

• For information: French Angora is supposed to consist of 30% guard hair. There is not much difference in the spinning of English and French angora fibers. However, French Angora blooms more due to the guard hairs. English Angora needs to be "abused" a little to achieve this bloom. German (Giant) Angora was developed through selective breeding, resulting in a rabbit with very high fur yields. Its fur is strong enough for commercial processing.
