Animals for Fiber
German Angora Rabbits: World-Class Wool
Our purebred German Angora rabbits produce soft, dense, and lustrous wool, prized by artisans worldwide. Raised with care in Central Texas, they thrive in the arid climate, yielding clean, high-quality fiber perfect for spinning, knitting, or felting. Each rabbit is hand-sheared ethically, ensuring premium wool without harm.
Angora Goats: Luxurious Mohair
Our Angora goats yield luxurious mohair, renowned for its sheen, strength, and softness. Raised in Central Texas’ ideal conditions, these goats produce high-quality fiber perfect for premium textiles. Hand-sheared with care, our mohair supports sustainable crafting with a Texas touch.
Why Texas?
Central Texas’ warm days, cool nights, and rich pastures create ideal conditions for fiber-producing animals. Our rabbits and goats graze on high-quality local hay, ensuring superior fibers rooted in Texas’ tradition of sustainability and respect for nature.
