Unique products... Unique hand spun and hand knitted dog fur scarves, or we will spin your own pet’s fur! Yes, I can spin yarn from your dog’s hair...believe it or not, that annoying stuff that you vacuum up is really potential exotic yarn! And quite a conversation piece when worn as a garment. Hand-spun and hand-knitted dog fur scarves, $100 + HST in Nova Scotia + shipping and handling. Available selection of colours varies; orders taken. The yarn is very soft, very warm, does not smell “doggie” when it gets wet, is easy to work with, and with wear develops a fuzzy “halo” which makes it look like mohair or fur. It is important to spin brushings rather than cuttings... The obvious kinds of dogs are ones that shed great quantities of a soft, under coat; clippings are not the best as they are shorter and contain outer guard hairs too coarse for spinning; and dogs like poodles or schnauzers don’t work on their own. I charge $20 for a fifty gram ball With three balls – a loosely packed grocery bag full of brushings -- you could knit some mittens or a hat... |
