It's so nice to see angoras that are well cared for, that have their "wool" removed gently by people who clearly love them. Lovely, sweet video =)

I looked at my dog while watching this video. He looked back at me like "Don't even think about it."

I think your rabbit is part cat pushing everything off the table like that. lol So adorable.

Anyone else is like "I want to do that, that looks fun!" when you see these videos about handmade things? Everytime I see a beekeeping video I want to get my own hive, now I want to get angora rabbits to do this, oh and I want a cow to produce my own milk yoghurt and cheese. I'm a lost cause...

I just read you lost Tiny this past summer, I'm so sorry for your loss. She seemed like a real sweetie, and very much loved.

"I needed darker yarn for my fair isle knitting so I bought a standard poodle" 😂😂 <- the reason I subscribed to you, you beautiful soul!

[Lilliz]

I saw a video once where they pulled the hair out of the rabbit and it was screaming so much. It gave me nightmares and I swore I would never buy anything made out of angora, but now I think as long as I make sure it’s from a proper person then I guess I could.

I love the fact, that there is a rabbit on the table and it is so confident. ❤

Those bunnies are so happy! I have raised rabbits and rescued them for years, and it takes a lot of work and love to get them so happy and trusting and chill. Did I even see a binkie in the background?! You are doing so wonderfully, those are lucky bunnies!

Thank you for making such an informative video! Also, having lived with rabbits, anyone worried about the rabbit being on the table can chill. That rabbit is super relaxed. It looks to me like he's trying to make a space big enough for him to sprall across the table.

I love that you have a purpose for your animals, like your poodle who you bought for his coat, and yet they are still loved so well. It's very obvious. Seeing such a balance is very refreshing

We have had success weaving our homespun, home dyed Angora with a simple triangle loom. It made a great shawl that blooms well and is so warm!
Weaving uses less yarn than knitting and I was introduced to it by a spinner who made a lovely scarf on a simple table top loom. She had done all the comparisons and found it made her yarns and wool go much further.
Last year I did my own test and with just a few ounces of my baby fine ‘shorts’ (1.5” and less in length) I was able to felt a scarf with just a few ounces of what some would consider unusable!
Thank you for taking the time to share your process!

using dog wool/fur is not strange at all. There are ppl in Europe who will make items for you with your dogs fur. I plan on doing that with my husky, when she blows her coat again!

[Sailorlluna]

It’s hilarious how the bunny tried to push everything off the table 😭🤣 so cute omg

[jeanneduckduck]

I have a goldendoodle with very soft fur and always wondered if i could use his fur for my crochet projects! people looked at me like i was crazy! this is amazing and thank you for sharing your talents with this community :)
