Humanely sourced angora is pricey. As a knitter, A ball of humanely sourced angora yarn is about £7 or $11. It's expensive to knit a sweater out of it.

Unfortunately, the walmart mentality has people buying things because they are cheap, regardless of where or how it is sourced.

I know this from experiences with my aunt's rabbits and business! But just like any "great businessperson", it is not a cheap operation, it requires continual care and work and involvment with the "inventory", and ethics and integrity for your craft/product must be the guiding principle of your business! THIS business, done humanely, aint a cheap, get rich quick scheme!
