New Spun Golden Retriever yarn


Better late than never post. Gee I haven't posted since 09. Well, here I am again. I have been working my 2 jobs as usual and I have been spinning and teaching spinning classes around my town. Here is a picture of my latest for a very nice lady in The Woodlands. Its her Golden Retriever hair. I got over 300 yards of it spun for her. Its two ply and I think turned out really well. Had to share it with you all. I have also been working in my yard and trying to get flower beds started. My daughter and her husband and grand-son put up my swing near my patio and I really love it. I will post a picture soon of it.

I hope to write more soon but life does get in the way. Enjoy my picture of the yarn. If you haven't tried spinning dog hair..give it a try. Really nice to spin. It also isn't mixed with anything like wool. I have done some with mixture of wool and it was nice as well but this is straight dog.. Enjoy

Thanks for the email. Yes, you can spin cat hair. Just collect it by brushing. Of course if its a long hair cat. You can get about 300 yards from 3 grocery type bags. Its really fun to spin and make one of a kind yarns.

Hugs,

Rowena

My mom has been saving her dog's hair to get it spun and knitted, but has been putting it off. She is going to be starting chemo in a few weeks and I am trying to find someone willing to spin the fur and make a scarf. Are you by chance available? If not, do you know of someone who is?
Thank you,
Catherine

Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

I don't drop a comment, but I browsed a few remarks here "New Spun Golden Retriever yarn". I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's okay.

Could it be only me or do a few of the remarks appear like
they are left by brain dead individuals?
:-P And, if you are posting on other online social sites,
I'd like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Could you list of every one of all your public sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

I'm impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both educative and
amusing, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is an issue that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy I came across this during my search for something relating to this.
