&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;One of my favorite parts of raising Angora rabbits is watching the journey from raw wool to finished yarn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;In this week&amp;rsquo;s livestream from the rabbitry, I&amp;rsquo;m working with a beautiful batch of English Angora wool from Betty Chu.

Their nutritional needs shift quite a bit depending on whether they&amp;rsquo;re growing wool, raising kits, or just living a relaxed, retired life. The one thing they all have in common? They need consistent access to quality hay and a well-balanced pellet to support both their digestion and their coats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
