According to the free Wikipedia encyclopedia, a sweater is an element of knitted clothing designed for the upper body. It is characterized by the presence of long sleeves, a high two- or three-layer collar that fits the neck, and is usually presented without fasteners.

Features and benefits of Angora
Many fashionistas prefer angora sweaters, as this yarn has many advantages.
It is made from the wool of a specially bred Angora rabbit. The peculiarity is that angora has a large percentage of fluff in its composition, which is why it is soft and gentle to the touch. Angora perfectly retains heat, so a sweater made of this yarn will be an excellent choice for a cold winter.
Wealthy beauties can afford luxurious Angora models of French or Italian production. Inexpensive sweaters are made from Turkish yarn.
Angora wool can be divided into three grades:
- threads have a long pile (6–7 cm) and contain up to 80% of angora;
- yarn contains less angora and the pile is short;
- threads have only up to 30% angora and have a fine pile.
The best are sweaters made of yarn of the first grade. They are fluffy and soft, and also perfectly warm even in severe frosts. But low-grade yarn is usually used in combination with dense wool to add attractiveness to the appearance and also make it warmer.
