My mother-in-law phoned me last night to tell me all about the wonderful new fleece she's been given and how perfect it would be for my two rabbits, Bob and Kizzy.
At first i was totally confused thinking that even if I could get either of my two to wear a little wool coat they wouldn't need it as they are indoor bunnies. But actually she wants me to collect their fur as I groom them so she can add it to the mix when she spins the fleece into wool. They aren't angora rabbits but my mother-in-law doesn't seem to think that will be a problem.
Has anyone ever collected their rabbits fur for spinning? I can't help thinking it'll take a few years to collect a decent amount of fur.
