I want to know if i can collect my lionhead’s hair and have it spun into yarn, like with angora rabbits. Will it be as soft and as good of quality?
and no, I won’t be doing it in the winter. Duh!
You probably could, although it would take alot more fur to make something out of a lionhead rabbit compared to an angora!
I know that there is a book out there that is all about knitting out of hair from your dog- so imagine that the process for a rabbit would be similar.
Ill see if I can find a link to the book- this should give you all the info you need to start spinning your rabbit’s wool.

You could, but it would take a long time to be able to get enough to really use. Lionheads should only have the longer fur around the head and the skirt. It also doesn’t grow the same length as an angora.
You can try, but I doubt you will get enough to really do much with it.
