Harvesting does not harm the rabbits, and they will lay stretched out on lap or a table as they are being plucked or clipped. Wool must be harvested for their wellbeing, and the process depends on the breed.

Rabbits are such clean animals, there is no further preparation to the wool before spinning.

As far as cleaning is concerned, unless it has had a foreign matter spilled on it, an airing in the breeze will normally shake any loose dust off it.

Washing: If you need to wash your garment, use warm water, with hair shampoo (plain, no added conditioner) Soak for a few minutes, squeeze gently to remove any stubborn dirt, and drain – never wring out, only squeeze excess water. Rinse in exactly the same temperature water, – any temperature shock will either felt or shrink the item – , squeeze out excess water in a towel, and dry flat. Once the item is dry, pin it on the line in the breeze.
