Wanted - Fur

Thanks Admin for this bit

And now you've done it I guess I better use it! lol

As the moulting season approaches I'd like to ask people if they would save their fur and send it to me for spinning?
I need a bit more practice, lol, . I am not a great knitter , but I would be happy to send your fur back in either a ball or a plain knitted square ( that's if you want it back).

Don't worry if it is not very woolie, or long, I can mix it with sheeps wool.

If you have several dogs and would like them done individually, I can do that too

The size would depend on the amount you send.

There is no charge for this, as I say I'd like the extra practice, I have ideas for later but that will be when I've more experiance.

Thanks

I'd be happy to, p.m me your address

Brill, thanks lizm

I've been saving it for ages in the hopes that the spinning wheel would come down from the attic, so will look for the bags I have of it, somewhere.......

Oh my! I'm going to have bucket loads now!

No probs June send it all down

I haven't been brushing them while the weather has been so cold, with them living out I never do until they go into full moult, Lona is moulting now though because she has had babies, I may have a go later on in the week when some of the babies have gone off to their new homes, bit busy at the moment to say the least!!!! However I do have at least one bag of it somewhere, I know I do.....

As soon as my 2 start to moult i'll send it to you Karen xx

Thanks lizz

I love the idea of keeping some of their fur as a 'keepsake' for their albums. If you are not too busy I would love to send you some of mine to be done as a square, if possible? It would prob just be Shunka's at the mo xxxxx If you are too busy no worries xxxxx

I want to get enough wool for a shawl, Kachinas has found some lovely designs

I still have bags of my Tim's fur Karen as I do mixed bags of them all. I would love you to spin it into balls for me as then I can knit my pack lap blanket [all be it a small one ]

Ooops! Carol gave Merlin a good brush yesterday and whilst he's not in full moult yet, she got a fair bit out but I binned it.

got loads more soon, i used to put it out for the birds to line the nests my friend used to do that with her gsd hair

but will start saving them in different bags. though cant knit but my sister can so could get her to knit something once got some

Thanks everyone
Let me know when you have some to send and I'll pm my address
