What is Angora Real 40?

Alize Angora Real 40 is a medium from Alize, made in Turkey. Composition: 40% angora / 20% wool / 40% acrylic. One skein holds 480 m of yarn and weighs 50 g.

How the yarn behaves

Wool-and-acrylic blend with no actual angora — the fibre haze comes from the blend rather than rabbit fibre. Light fingering on the ball but knits at a far wider gauge range than the yardage implies, thanks to the soft halo. Sits well in stockinette and gentle textures; busy stitch patterns can get lost. The wool content adds a little memory and warmth compared with pure acrylic blends. Machine wash gentle and dry flat to keep the halo soft.
