AS Rachel said there's no place like home and she's getting everyone in the holiday spirit including Darnelle our English Angora Rabbit! He is the softest of soft and when you have such a pet you "pluck" them when they are ready to shed. This prevents matting and also it provides a wonderfully soft fiber for spinning into yarn. It is some of the softest and warmest of wools - I have just finished spinning his fur from the last plucking and will have to come up with a special project on the loom!
