angora wool

Fluffy bunny yarn

Angora wool is the soft, fluffy fiber harvested from angora rabbits—not to be confused with mohair, which comes from angora goats.

The fiber is prized for its silky texture and exceptional warmth, though it sheds easily and requires careful handling.

She wore an angora wool sweater that left fuzz on everything it touched.
