Pet Hair Yarn
If your pet holds a special place in your heart (I know mine all do), I can turn your pet's fluff into a forever keepsake.
All you need to do is collect your pet's hair every time you brush, I need a good sized carrier bag stuffed full (the more the better). Please don't wash the hair - I work with it exactly as it comes off your pet. Sadly, I cannot use cut hair or the top guard hairs, I need the lovely, soft undercoat that fills the pet brush.
Once you've posted the hair to me, I'll let you know I've received it and then I set to work.
First, I'll brush through the hair to get all the fibres set in the same direction (this makes it easier to spin). Once I've carded the hair, I use my spinning wheel (Primose) to spin it onto bobbins, then ply two bobbins together to get the desired thickness of yarn. Once plied, I wind it on to my niddy noddy, secure it then wash, wash, wash. Once it's clean and rinsed, I hang the yarn outside to dry in the fresh air.
Once dried, I can turn the yarn into a ball or skein of yarn - whichever you would prefer and then I'll post it back to you. Pet yarn is super soft and incredibly warm - it makes lovely hats, gloves and scarves!
