This yarn is custom made.. However, this means that you need to provide pet fur that is at least a cm long, clean and free of debris, and not matted or cotted. Kemp - the long and coarse guard hairs of the outer coat - are best removed as they make for a prickly yarn - as do any short 'second' cuts (where a dog groomer has gone back over with the trimmer, for example). 'Sweepings' from the groomer's floor are really NOT recommended!
If necessary I can also blend your pet's fur with wool - but this will double the weight, in effect, so please bear this in mind when considering this option. Blending can help very short fibres stay together in the spinning process.
The best dogs fur for spinning comes from the undercoat of the northern breeds like Malamute, Siberian Husky, Elkhound and Keeshond However I have spun Golden Retriever, Alsation and Tibetan Terrier with success.
I am very happy to sample your pet's fur for free so you can see what you will be getting.
