My thoughts would be that the angora my have had a touch of wool mites in it, a pesky little bug that cause our bunnies to felt "on the hoof" so to speak. Now, this is in no way to say that the wool was necessarily inferior, it is very possible the bunny(s) were treated before shearing/plucking, but if there were any eggs present, or even a couple of bugs who hadn't gotten killed off, then they will survive in that bag on the batts, and happily chew away, leaving a bit of a sticky, felted mess. Not sure if the lack of air would have killed them off eventually, keeping the damage to a minimum. That would be my theory.
