Breed Note
Angora goats originated in the Ankara region of present-day Turkey and both bucks have horns that grow continuously throughout their lives! Their long, silky locks are known for their luster and shine. Although fiber from older gals, like Diamond, may not be as a fine as their younger (shorter horned) counterparts, we think they're wonderful for felted fleece pieces.
What is felted fleece?
Animals like sheep, angora goats, and alpaca are shorn regularly as part of their ongoing care. Through a wet felting process, we use wool to create a durable backing while preserving the natural individuality of each fleece. These pieces, also called living rugs or vegetarian pelts are made entirely from fleece with no animal skin or hide. Learn more about our process here!
