Yarns of 100% pure angora are usually used as accents. They are quite striking, visually appearing and to the touch feeling, similar to fur. They have the best halo and warmth, but can felt very easily through abrasion and humidity and can be excessively warm in a finished garment. And the blend yarn can decrease its softness and halo also the price of the finished object. Angora fiber is normally blended with wool to give the yarn elasticity, because Angora fiber is not naturally elastic. Commercial knitting yarns typically use blended yarns of angora, in order to produce some halo, warmth, and softness without the side effects of excessive felting.
But not all Angora is the same - French Angora, Belangora, is The authentic Belangor™ French Angora. This decadent luxury fiber comes in a variety of gorgeous, luminous shades - extremely warm, this lighter than air yarn feels sumptuous against the skin, and is a favorite for cowls, hats, mittens and scarves. Galler Yarns has imported this yarn continuously since 1951. In 2013 this pure natural yarn, made from fibre hand-combed from carefully tended Angora rabbits, was officially designated as an Artisan Product in France. Angora hair is one of natural fiber in Consinee Group-Top Line. If you are interested in any of our products, please feel free to contact us.
