I recently received an email from a wonderful friend, Genevie, from New Mexico. Genevie and her family have several angora goats and angora rabbits. She mentioned to me that recently, she had visitors at her farm and were quite intrigued with the variety of animals they have. She stated that when the visitors stopped by her shop and purchased some angora wool to spin they were thinking it came from the angora goats, which produce Mohair, and were rather surprised to learn it came from Rabbits!
Below are some pictures of Angora Goats (not Genevie's). The Mohair they produce is very nice and soft and can create lofty yarns.
