Don't laugh too hard, Olesia...I have a very good friend that spins and has in fact made mittens and scarfs with dog fur...She prefers spinning the fur of the Great Pyraneese <sp?> because it's easy to work with, but she has also worked with long coat GSD fur before...I keep offering her Zoey fur, but she prefers to spin with Alpaca hair....
Q, Congrats on Pebble's fur regrowth!!!!! | |

Great news on Pebbles hair regrowth. Loved the book Kathy, although I don't think somehow I'll be able to put together a wardrobe with Bridie's fur, I'd be done for indecent exposure | |
