I have quite a few people interested in rabbits for fur ask whether Jersey Wooly wool can be spun, and how it compares to the Angora breeds.
FYI, Jersey Woolies were developed by using French Angoras and Netherland Dwarfs. The wool is comparable to French, but as an easy to care for pet type, it often has more guard hairs, and the quantity produced is quite small.
It took me about a year and around 6 Woolies to produce 2.8 oz of usable 3 inch wool. This is the result.
And the finished product.
