New breeder and spinner of angora

[onmedee]

Hello board!

I recently brought home my breeding pair of german angoras. They are currently pretty busy getting BIG, growing lots of fiber, and penciling me in for grooming and pampering. ;-)

I am a spinner and make gorgeous yarn from all their fiber. I have a deep love for animals and fiber art. I work at an alpaca farm and have been crocheting/knitting/weaving for 8 years. Angoras are the perfect animal for me!

Anyone else raise angoras for the their fiber?

Let me welcome you to Rabbits Online, my name is Dave and I am a moderator on the forum. So if I can be of any help please let me know. This is a terrific website for rabbits and their slaves, not only is it very active but also friendly. I am so glad you’re here and I know you will enjoy it.

Beautiful bunny's.

Many bunny's recommend their slaves to this site so we may learn of others methods to keeping our furry masters happy.

If you everhave a sick bunny, please post in The Infirmary and include your rabbit's age, breed and health history as well diet and output details leading up to the problem.

I have listed some links I thought you might find interesting:

*For reference the Library section

*To brag or tell everyone about the antics of your bunny or just to talk about your day here is where to start a Bunny Blog, you can also look back at it later and remember when you had a life before your bunny.

*Now all the bunny’s like talk to each other when we mere slaves aren’t around in the Bunny Chat is the spot to be.

*Rabbits Online also has regional forums , this a good way to find a vet in your area that has experience with rabbits and to find out from other nearby of good sources of rabbit supplies.

The Let Your Hare Down section is for anything non-bunny related.

Here is a link tothat will help you and your bunny to connect, How To Bond With Your Bunny.

Now every forum has rules and ours can be found with this link Rabbits Online Forum Rules. This gives guidelines on what is acceptable, what is not and how we hope everyone will treat each other.

Everyone on this forum loves to see pictures of each other’s bunnies. So if you would like to post a picture this link will help you do that, Upload Photo's to Photo Gallery. Then in the post, you click on the "G" in the tool bar to insert your photo. Many people also use Photobucket. You just copy the img file and paste it into the post.

I am glad you have joined rabbits online and I look forward to seeing you around.

Oh my goodness, your buns are GORGEOUS! (This might be one of the only forums where you can get away with saying that to a perfect stranger.)

I would love to hear more about how you spin their fur. They're English Angora's, right? I went to a state fair with my mom two ears ago and we saw an Angora spinner doing a presentation, and she had her bunny just sitting on her lap while she spun off of her!

Spinning has always fascinated me; do you use a spinning wheel or a spindle? Is it impossible to learn?

If you have the time, maybe you can start a blog about your Angora spinning adventures! Welcome to the forum, by the way!
