A place to celebrate raising Angora rabbits and using their fiber, sewing, embroidery, crocheting, and whatever other glorious things come to mind.

Future Etsy Dreams to Follow

What do you do when you have nine (yes! 9!) French Angora rabbits that enjoy being brushed and have very sweet temperaments?

The daddy of the herd
Well, your daughter spins some of the fiber into beautiful, super soft and super warm yarn.

The aqua yarn is angora and sheep wool mixed.



But what if you end up with more than you can use?

See how long that fiber is?!

Then...

you open an Etsy store!

So, that's what I'm going to do by the end of January...maybe even earlier if I get everything ready sooner than expected.

I plan to stock the store with: 
  • 1 oz. bags of clean, soft, warm angora fiber for your spinning pleasure, 
  • 100 yard skeins of already spun yarns, primarily angora and angora mix, but some sheep and alpaca also,
  • various embroideries that are rabbit related, or inspirational quotes and beautiful pictures, hopefully some of which will be made into things like notebook covers, table runners, etc. and not just wall hangings,
  • some downloadable patterns for your own embroidery and quilting pleasure.
So, come along with me on this journey, if not to buy from the store, then to follow the antics of our beautiful rabbits and other adventures our family may have along the way.
