:shock: Oldhaus, you have opened up a whole new world! all these different kinds of wool! :shock:
I must confess I generally wear jeans and (organic coton!) teeshirts, so don' have much scope as far as nitting/wool/fancy clothes are concerned!
love the bunnies though! :bunny: <---- maybe we could have more hair Andy?

Edit: talk about variety on Ish, there is another thread running on alternative recipes for bunny :roll: well diversity is good...

As I ping from tree to tree I wonder... why do I seem to have transformed into a pinging tree-dwelling thing?

Have finally looked at your bunny pics! :cheers: Chinchilla - now I think that's the name of that fluffy cat breed I was thinking of!

P.S. I have a bit of a fascination with maps, atlases, google earth etc etc. No Sat Nav for me! :lol:

Chinchilla is its own animal. Member of the Rodent family, closely related to rabbits, but they're a different species.

Yes, it is it's own animal, BUT... rabbit breeders, except for Flemish Giant breeders, call their Light Gray rabbits "Chinchillia" colored. In a Flemish it IS Light Gray!

one last reminder... an Angora Goat, produces "Mohair" . and Angora Rabbit produces "Angora Wool"

Cashmier is a wool type, it can come from many breeds of sheep/goats...

:flower: :flower: :flower:

Hi Joel! I've been to your site many times to look at the bunnies! I've thought about getting a bunny or two in the past which is how I ran across it. I grew up in CR and go through the Amanas when I'm heading back home. I'm currently in Oskaloosa. Nice to see you on the forum, I'm new here too! :lol:
