Our "Tawny" is what you would call a "Wool Beast." She has a coat that is twice as thick as any Angora rabbit I have had or bred. I am still waiting to get an offspring with such a lush coat. |
It takes 2 days to clip her down with shearing scissors, clipping about an inch to 2 inches at a time. It is daunting and when she has had enough you pick up where you started the following day. |
Her staple length is at least 8 inches long which makes it so fun to spin her wool. |
Somewhere deep in all that wool is our "Tawny." |
Looks like a big job, but definitely worth it.
ReplyDeleteI've never had one like her!
