Woman's Pets Provide Delightfully Warm Presents
Sally May's 20 Angora rabbits are cute pets but the gloves and other clothes knitted from their luxurious fur are even cuter.
May, who lives in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, shears the rabbits every three months, producing enough Angora for a pair of mittens, according to the Express. She also uses the fur for scarves and hats she gives to family and friends.
The fur fetches $16 a pound, but she declines to sell the fur or the clothing she makes with it because of the difficulty of making it a business.
"I've never had more than 20 to 30 rabbits at a time, but over the years I must have had hundreds," May is quoted as saying in The Express. "That's the problem, once you're hooked, life's not the same without them."
