The sample "Bunny & Claire" from the Book "The Hitchhiker Collection" was knit out of this yarn combo kit.
Angora yarn is so soft and fluffy, it's a delight to knit with and wear – and if you use yarn by German Angora breeder Claire of "Seidenhase" ("Silk Bunny"), you can be absolutely sure that the bunnies were treated in the most respectful, animal-friendly fashion: They are kept in spacious hutches and are free to roam in the green yards during the day. When their fluffy fur grows too long, they will spend an hour or so on Claire's lap where she carefully shears them using a special kind of scissors (find pictures of this on Claire's website!)
This yarn combo kit contains two skeins of "Angora Pure" by Seidenhase, 50 g each, colors "Straciatella" and "Blautanne", 280 yards/50 g, to make the shawl "Bunny & Claire" from Martina Behm's book "The Hitchhiker Collection".
