I have been collecting the hair from my various cats for years, and although I’ve been spinning it, I never decided what to do with it. Then a few years ago, at a craft fair, a lovely lady asked me if I spun cat-hair. This eventually led to me producing a small rug for her beautiful Persian cat called Noodles, made from his very own fur. So I continued the idea, using hair from my short-haired cats, and dogs, and making various small items.
The bookmarks, tassels etc, are a lovely way to have a keep-sake of your pet – something to remember them by, that is unique to them.

Full description
These bookmarks are made from the fur of my cat, Emily, who is a ‘Classic Tabby’. The fibres used for spinning are from the underfur, which is dark grey. First, I comb the underfur out of her coat (she’s not very good at grooming herself!) Then I spin the fibres into a thin yarn - I use a small supported spindle, as the fibres are so short, and don’t spin easily on a spinning wheel. After gently washing the tiny skein of yarn, I air-dry it, and then wind into a ball. It’s then ready to be crocheted into the bookmark, or twisted into a tassel.
These bookmarks make a lovely unique gift for a cat-lover. The ‘flower’ ends vary from a 5-petal flower, to 6-petal, to 12-petal flowers. Contact me if you have a preference.
