Here at High Desert Fiberworks you will find artisan blended luxury batts, quality hand spun yarns, luxurious raw fibers, knitted projects from my hands to yours, and beautiful angora rabbits.

I raise purebred German angora rabbits under the barn name Spun Buns Angora Rabbits. Whether you are interested in the German Angora breed, are searching for care information, or are in search of an available angora I hope you find what you are looking for.

By sticking closely to the IAGARB breed standard my goal is to produce colored Germans with synchronized coats, good color saturation, and all the other wonderful German characteristics. As a hand spinner, I tend to gravitate to the beauty of natural colored fiber. Though there are now a few colored purebred Germans, because of an importation of two black does in 2006, they are still uncommon.

Hardly anything is more exciting than seeing a healthy nest full of white, chocolate, chinchilla, fawn, agouti, and black colored babies. I know there will be even more beautiful natural colored fiber to spin in a matter of months! Working to create the next generation of progressively more impressive fiber animals is a continuing goal.  

Germans are fiber producing workhorses and most quality animals will produce an incredible amount of fiber each 90 day growth cycle, with a minimum requirement of grooming needs from their owner during that time. In order to register with IAGARB (which is based upon the German registry and standards for this breed) rabbits must produce a minimum of 325 grams (approximately 11.46 oz.) of fiber in 90 days. There are strict standards in place for registration to ensure only quality animals are allowed into the registry. In addition to meeting the fiber production minimum rabbits must pass with at least 80 points on other aspects such as fiber texture, furnishings, weight, conformation and the like.

Germans also have gorgeous crimp to their fiber and it is lovely to handspin. I adore so many traits in this breed (from their dense fiber production and mellow temperaments, to their abundant leg and ear furnishings) that I don't ever see wanting another breed in my barn! 

Please contact me if you have questions or need any assistance...I am more than happy to help!
