ReANGORA HANDSPUN
Limited Edition,
spun in ARC
|
Undyed 2-ply angora wool in rare Natural Grey and light chunky weight. The fiber is shorn from Blue Grey German angora rabbits. The yarn is untreated, handspun, and available in limited quantity. It is originated from a small rabbitary in Autonomous Republic of Crimea. The region where this wool is grown is considered as an agricultural capital of Crimea, and many local farmers are graduated a local Institute of Agriculture. We bought this wool a few years ago to make a few sweaters for sale in our knitwear boutique, but the yarn is so precious so that the sweaters have never been worn and we decided to reintroduce the yarn for knitters to make exceptional quality angora wool accessories such as hats, gloves or scarves. The yarn is called ReAngora because it was once in use, the loose hanks were also steamed to return the smooth original texture, and the price is reduced accordingly.
*To mention: The ARC is a unique and picturesque place with an endemic nature inspiring artists and poets, costal air infused with wild herbs, and almost every meter2 of its soil keeps archeological artifacts.
