Hm, maybe this should be in Fashion. I've actually never heard of Angora. Hm, have you tried washing it the "right way"

Below are a number of links to various companies that instruct on how to wash angora. No matter what they may say please NEVER put your angora into the dryer, washer or out in the sun.

yeah but they dont kill the bunnies. They just shave them. So they run around awkward and cold, but it beats a bludger to the head.
it's supposed to be drycleaned...but is it smelling because it's warm and you're sweating in it, or is your bodyheat causing the sweater to smell?
just dump it in the dry cleaning and use bounce or whatever fabric softner thingy you think smells good :P
