Angora Rabbit wool to give away

Deborah from Devonport

Hi there
We brush our pure-bred Angora Rabbit twice weekly and have a lot of wool collected. Perfect if you are a home spinner. The colour is chestnut, a beautiful warm grey with a hint of brown. If you are interested, please let me know. Pick up is central Devonport.
Thanks
Deborah
