Box 19. Great Britain. Industry And Commerce. Description An account of the resource Rabbit Breeding For Fur Now Common In England.; Rabbit Breeding for Fur Now Common in England [Knitting Industry‚Äî329.] Since 1918 the rabbit wool and rabbit fur trade in England has been gradually growing in importance, according to a report received by the Textile Division, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, England, announced Monday. Consequently, today there are hundreds of rabbit, breeders throughout the British Isles breeding rabbits to sell their wool and furs. An important conference, the first of its kind, organized by the Specialist Rabbit Clubs, with the support of the officers of the British Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, was held on January 14, 1926, in the Technical College at Bradford where the President of the British Fur Rabbit Society met with delegates from all parts of the country. The sale of wool pulled from rabbits is said to have been 10 times greater in England during 1925 than in any previous year. The Angora rabbit produces from 10 to 12 ounces of wool a year. Rabbit wool is spun with a small proportion of sheep's wool and the yarn thus obtained is dyed into all colors. Rabbit wool thus far has been manufactured locally into yarns exclusively, the principal use of such yarn being for knitted ladies' jumpers and knitted children's caps and garments. The local trade name which has been adopted for this yarn commodity is Furida and it is sold extensively to the knitting public by one of the large Bradford department stores at retail prices varying between 85 cents to $1.09 per ounce.
