Hey there! If you're checking out TROYARN's Angora Love yarn and wondering if it's real angora, here's the scoop: according to how the manufacturer describes it, it's actually a blend of 20% wool and 80% acrylic, not pure angora.

The blend is meant to offer durability and some softness, making it pretty good for things like baby projects and amigurumi toys while still being warm.

The name 'Angora Love' might give off the impression that it's got more angora than it actually does, which has left a few people a bit puzzled if they were expecting the fluffiness of true angora yarn.

As for its specs, the manufacturer lists it as lace weight, with each skein packing 3.52 ounces and 601 yards. It's aimed at detailed projects where delicate work matters. That said, some folks felt it seems thicker, more like a size 2 yarn than the usual lace weight (size 1), which wasn't what they expected.

When it comes to texture, our research shows mixed reviews. Although the manufacturer touts it as soft, several people found it rougher than imagined—definitely not the luxurious softness you'd get from genuine angora.

If you’re thinking about using it for anything that'll be worn right against the skin, you might want to test it out first to see if it’s comfortable for you.

But if you’re after something lasting and warm for scarves or shawls, it still might work for you. Just make sure its feel, weight, and make-up match your project's needs!
