These two, Hillside Black Rose (on the left) and Hillside Black Lotus (on the right) are two of our best bunnies. They have lovely dense wool, grow lots of it and are good mum buns as well.

They are two of our three 'proven' does. They're both good mum buns and take care of their babies. Both of them have a great coat with nice dense wool, soft and somewhat crimpy. The herd has a lot of influence from these two.

Rose is four years, three months old at the moment so she will be retired from being a mum bun pretty soon. Even though she will be retired from being a mum bun, she will still be busy growing fiber for Hula Bunny yarn.

Rose and Lotus have nice dense coats which don't need a lot of maintenance. They have a lot of crimp in their wool and which adds a bit of "sproing" to the finished yarn.

We have a lot of pictures of Black Lotus since she's been with us for a long time and has had a lot of offspring. Here's some of her pictures.
