Kotimainen angorakaninvilla on eettinen valinta - Ruukin kehräämö

Domestic angora rabbit wool is an ethical choice

Did you know? Domestic angora rabbit wool is an ethical choice.

For Ruukki Kehräämö, the angora rabbit's wool comes from the domestic Villiniity farm, where the rabbits live a peaceful life in good conditions. On the farm, the rabbits are collected in an animal-friendly manner every 3 to 4 months. You can get responsibly produced angora rabbit wool from us as yarn combined with alpaca wool.

Our yarns are mainly angora, alpaca and/or wild silk blends, but we also spin 100% angora rabbit yarn. As a yarn, my angora is soft and warm and, above all, responsibly produced.
