Wool-rabbit hair blended fabric is a rapidly developing type of product. Blending not only improves the spinnability of rabbit hair, but also enhances the style of the fabric and increases the variety of colors and patterns. Rabbit hair gives the fabric a softer hand feel than pure wool fabric and creates a silvery sheen on the surface. The different dyeing properties of wool and rabbit hair can also be used to produce a two-tone effect with a distinctive style.
Rabbit hair is lightweight, has low strength and poor cohesion, making it difficult to spin. The rabbit hair content is generally limited to about 20%, and it needs to be blended with high-grade wool. Typical blended products include overcoating fabrics, tweeds, and fine woolen knitted fabrics.
