For the last several years, I've been toying with the idea of raising angora rabbits for their fur. It wouldn't involve too much equipment, just a few rabbit hutches, water bottles, and of course the food and bedding. I love angora yarn and the price of it is so expensive. My sister spins her own yarn and I thought that if I had three or four angora rabbits, I could produce enough yarn to knit with. My sister and I have discussed raising angora rabbits, and while she has more room for the rabbit hutches in her house, I have more time for the daily brushing to harvest their fur.
I've read that angora rabbits make great confined pets. Most of the angora yarn that is sold comes from France and apparently it's the labor costs of hand brushing the rabbits that adds significantly to the cost of the yarn. The stories I've read online about keeping rabbits in rabbit hutches make it seem like a relaxing hobby and nurturing pets each day is rewarding on its own. Being able to harvest fur to make into yarn from the process would be memorable, as well.
