Angora wool comes from Angora rabbits. The angora we use was obtained from shaving the rabbits, making the fibbers quite short and, therefore, susceptible to shedding.
Pilling occurs mainly in areas subject to friction and gradually disappears after a few wears. Gently remove pilling by hand, handling your garment with care.
Angora wool is naturally resistant to dirt, so it only needs to be brushed gently once in a while rather than washed often.
To wash angora wool, use baby shampoo or a mild detergent that's specifically designed for fragile fibbers and hand-wash in 30°C water.
Avoid twisting or rubbing to prevent felting. Rinse thoroughly and add vinegar to restore natural balance and prevent static.
Place your knit between two towels and roll them without twisting to absorb excess water.
Dry flat in a well-ventilated room.
Do not keep angora garments on hangers. Keep them in a dry and cool place folded on a shelf and use cedar blocks to keep moths at bay.
If you've stored you angora garment in a vacuum seal bag during the warmer months, fluff it up by lightly shaking it.
