Description

Angora rabbits provide the softest fiber for spinning, and enjoy being groomed to remove their long continuously growing coats. After making their very own drop spindle, patrons get to brush rabbits to collect fiber. Then they can spin the softest yarn for themselves and bring it home.

Learn proper rabbit care and maintenance, along with information on how to manage your own angora rabbitry.

This program is suitable for the 2023 summer reading theme All Together Now on Kindness, Friendship, and Unity.
