Angora wool is the
lightest natural fibre known. The hollow structure of some of its fibres makes it ideal for thermal clothing. ANGORA fibre can only be produced by angora rabbits. (Angora goats produce mohair.) The angora wool fibres measure 10-13 microns whilst the highest quality lambswool is 18 micron - very fine and an excellent fibre to blend with the angora.
It is comfortable to wear next to the skin, allows the skin to breathe but absorbs moisture and helps to maintain a steady temperature at the
skin surface, in other words it keeps you
WARM & COMFORTABLE.
Warming & Therapeutic Effect: Angora wool improves blood circulation, giving natural benefit to the wearer. Research in Germany has demonstrated that angora wool is up to 3 times warmer than sheep's wool. This warmth-giving therapeutic effect is particularly beneficial for people with cold painful joints, sciatica, arthritis, muscle tension, kidney ailments, rheumatics, chilblains, circulatory disorders etc.
