Fuzzy Friend Ring - humane dog fur, natural colored wool - 10 -

Description

This adorable ring is just plain fun: to wear, to admire, and to share. It's like having a little furry friend to keep you smiling all day long. Each one has a unique expression and this one is shown in the first three photos.

Made from handspun humanely collected dog fur and natural colored wool, this hand knit ring is a soft reminder of those warm four-legged friends we love so well. The fur for this ring is from my dogs (some pictured in the last photo).

The eyes are glass beads, and the nose is hand-sculpted polymer clay.

Size: This ring is quite flexible and will comfortably fit ring sizes US 7 - 11.

Care: Wet fiber is weaker than dry, so you'll want to remove it when you're doing everyday wet things: washing your hands, in the shower, doing dishes, etc. Hand wash occasionally in warm water. Let air dry off your finger.

Why Dog Fur?
Dog fur is similar to angora and is very soft to the touch. Over time the softer undercoat will fluff up more. The fur fibers are squashed a bit during spinning and knitting, but will straighten up with wear making the ring look just like real fur pelt.

This fur was collected during regular grooming. It was not trimmed, but brushed out for extra softness in the spun yarn.

Contrary to popular rumour: Clean dog fur will not smell like dog (even when wet), nor will it attract fleas. Rather it is like other fine luxury fibers such as mohair and cashmere.

During spinning and manufacture, the fur is washed and sanitized. Because the dander and oils are washed away, it can often be used even by those who are allergic to dogs.
