Recently I was having a chat with my roommate who spent a year traveling. Out of some of this time, he visited New Zealand for a few months and that is where the story or his-story begins.
Don’t you just love wonderful, warm, fuzzy sweaters? Think about those freezing days in the winter when the closest you get to the warmth of a spring day is sitting in the sunniest spot in the house clothed in the warmest sweater you could find.
Did you ever wonder where angora comes from? Well here is a very simplified pictorial version of the Birth of the Angora Sweater.
How do we produce this? 
First step is to enter the shearing shed full clothed in all your bunny glory which will then be shaved off leaving you a naked, but still cute bunny! Aww! After that comes the spinning, dyeing, weaving and then sewing/knitting into garments. In the first photo of the bunny you can see the blankets, pillows, etc. in the background, all of which are made from angora. Whew!
G’night!
