Hillside Farm Hawaii’s English angora bunnies provide the angora fiber for Hula Bunny Yarn. Each bunny provides about a pound of fiber per year and they get three hair cuts each year. They like getting hair cuts and bounce around all happy afterwards but soon settle down and start growing more fiber. You can see pictures of your fiber providers at: Hillside’s Bunny Herd

Hula Bunny Yarn is exquisitely soft because of the English angora fibers from the bunnies here at Hillside Farm. It has a bit of bounce and memory provided by the fine Merino sheep’s wool and the Tussah silk adds in shine and more strength. Our yarns are spun in small batches at a small family run mill in the United States.

The colors of Hula Bunny Yarn are the colors of Hawaii. We have a soft sun washed sand color called “Beach Bunny”. It is a warm creamy beige. The warm silvery tropical moonlight found in Hawaii is the same shade as our “Moonlit Dance” color of Hula Bunny yarn. The newest color of Hula Bunny yarn, a darker gray called “Lava Rocks”, matches some of the shades of gray found in the growing portions of our island home. At some point we hope to have “Coconut Smoothie” which we expect to be a very white shade of yarn, but so far we’ve been able to keep up with the fiber production of the white bunnies with our spinning wheel so there hasn’t been enough fiber to send to the mill. At least, not yet, but maybe sometime soon.
