Removing mature wool from Angora rabbits by shearing or plucking when fiber reaches 3–4 inches. Distinct from a pet puppy trim — harvest removes fiber for spinning while maintaining the rabbit's comfort.
Regular harvesting prevents wool block and keeps Angora rabbits cool. Fiber that grows too long mats and becomes unmanageable.
Pluck wool that releases easily with gentle tugging — never forcefully pull wool that resists, as this causes skin trauma.
