FABRIC | Montreal Angora

Angora is a natural fibre produced from the downy coat of the Angora rabbit. It is prized for its exceptional softness, lightweight warmth, and distinctive halo-like finish.

The fibres used in our Montreal knit are fine and short, with a hollow core. This structure is what gives the knit its signature fluffy appearance and insulating warmth without heaviness. Because angora fibres have little natural elasticity, our sweaters are blended with acrylic to help the garment retain its shape and structure over time.

We use shorter, shorn fibres rather than longer plucked fibres. Shearing is a cruelty-free process and allows the rabbit’s coat to regrow naturally. While shorter fibres are more prone to shedding, this is a natural and expected characteristic of authentic angora and part of what gives the fabric its beautiful texture.
