About the Spinner...
 As
a child, my mother raised English angora rabbits and spun the wool.
She inspired and instilled my love of rabbits and spinning.
After graduate school, I had the time to pursue my interest so I learned to spin and went on some fantastic spinning
retreats. I find that caring for these lovely creatures and spinning
their fiber is very relaxing and therapeutic. I enjoy every
minute with them and my wheel.
The Herd
Oliver
 Oliver
is a 9.5 pound black Giant/English with beautiful light gray
wool accented with dark gray/black guard hairs. When his fiber is
spun the yarn has a lovely silvery color; and
blending the fiber with a fine black wool produces a light charcoal
yarn.
 Fitzwallace
Fitzwallace is an agouti of Giant/English crossbreeding. When his wool is spun it creates
a subtle steel color yarn; and blending his fiber with a
light brown wool the yarn has a lovely coco tweed
color. I also blend his fiber with fine black wool to create a
darker charcoal yarn.
 Andy
Andy is a lynx of Nordic German crossbreeding. He's
a goofy bunny! Always in the mood to play and investigate
everything! His last shearing produced an incredibly long fiber,
which when spun gave a almond-butter color.
 Truffle
My herd would not be complete without a
little chocolate! Truffle is of
a Giant
French/English crossbreeding with great
crimp. When
spun his fiber produces a light milk chocolate yarn.

Honey Bunny
Rocket
does not produce wool either, but I mention all the other pets, so
why not him too.
