Angora Wool is obtained from Angora rabbit of German breed locally reared. The wool is very warm and smooth, resulting in high demand for Angora shawls. Angora wool is originally available in white, brown and grey colors. However, these days it is being dyed into different colors.

Generally Angora Shawls are semi in nature i.e. their warp is usually of merino wool and weft is of Angora wool. Both plain and patterned semi-Angora shawls are available at our outlet. However, this along with affordable price also results in great demand of these Semi-Angora shawls with various types viz. Semi-Angora Plain Shawls, Semi-Angora Shawls with Patterns and Silk Angora Shawls.
