November 2024, we welcomed French Angora Rabbits to our farm to complement our natural dyes with hand-sourced, prime, natural fibers. These rabbits are members of our family and extreme care and love is poured into them by our 6 year old resident warrener.

Did You Know: In the 18th century, sailors pulled into a Turkish port called Angora (present day Ankara). The sailors found the shawls, spun of rabbit wool, worn by the local women to be remarkable for their beauty, fineness and silkiness. Before the sailors left Angora they took some of the Angora rabbits to take back to France. France became the first country to widely manufacture this type of wool into yarn.

The Angora rabbit is one of the most ancient groups of domestic rabbit breeds, bred for the long fibers of its coat. Rabbits do not possess the same allergy-causing qualities as many other animals, their wool is an important, humane alternative in the fiber world.

Likened to cashmere, their wool is extremely luxurious. 

Did You Know: Gulf Coast Native sheep were used across the Southeast by Spanish missionaries, Native Americans, and European settlers as far north as the Carolinas?
These sheep fit Georgia's hot, humid environment so well that for centuries, they were the only sheep to be found in the deep South, providing wool and meat for home production.
The development of anti-parasite medications in the 1900s allowed the introduction of other, larger, breeds in the Southeast. And Gulf Coast sheep were slowly discarded by most farmers. This breed was saved only through the action of a few Southern families.
Unique Features: Gulf Coast sheep lack wool on their faces, legs, and bellies, an adaptation to the heat and humidity of the South. Most rams and some ewes are horned.
