An ultra-soft, fluffy fibre from Angora rabbits

about
Angora Wool

Most angora rabbits are kept in confinement, and the harvesting process is a major animal welfare concern

Angora wool comes from the Angora rabbit and is known for its extreme softness, warmth, and fine fibres. Most angora is produced in China, often under poor conditions with limited animal welfare protections.

The main sustainability concern is animal welfare: traditional harvesting involves plucking wool from live rabbits, which can cause significant pain and distress. Even shearing, which is less painful if done properly, requires rabbits to be restrained, commonly in small cages with minimal space to move. Robust welfare standards and traceability are generally lacking in the industry.
