My knitting obsession had lead me down the road to spinning. I love to spin. It is so calming and mesmerizing. If you are looking for zen take up spinning. In order to have my own fiber to spin I have started raising angora rabbits. I currently have 8 rabbits. They are wonderfully sweet animals. They are however lots of work. So unless you are committed to spend lots of time with them I don't recommend raising them yourself. I am not good at spinning yet and have not tried angora wool. They say it is harder. This is one craft area in my life I feel is lacking my time. I seem to push it aside because there are more pertinent projects I am working on.
Here are pictures of my angora rabbits. They are all english angora.
