Question: What animal does Angora wool come from?

Answer: It comes from the Angora rabbit, a breed known for its exceptionally soft and fine hair. Originating in Ankara (historically known as Angora), Turkey, these rabbits have been bred for their wool for centuries. Angora fibers typically range between 12 and 16 micrometers in diameter, making them finer than most other natural fibers. Each fiber has a hollow core, giving it exceptional insulating properties. It’s long been considered a luxury material.
