I spent the past few nights spinning up a big bunch of Angelica's wool. (I believe I plucked it in September because she is almost in full coat again). Of all my rabbits she probably produces the most wool. I plan to weigh this batch but I'm guessing there are about 4 ounces. One thing that I have noticed about Angelica is that when she is ready to molt her wool doesn't cling to the wire cage like some of the others. Its because she doesn't have any of the cottony texture that some do. Vesper (who I have talked about in previous posts) is her daughter and she has the same type of wool. Now that wool is spun next I will ply it to 2 ply. I am too tired to do that tonight so stay tuned and when I am finished I will post a picture of the yarn along with the specifics on the weight and yardage produced. This wool spun really nice because it was so long and it was all prime meaning no short pieces included.
