Dear knitters, I will spin your fur baby's hair into yarn so you can make your own exciting projects with it ! Minimum of 1 ounce. If you send me less, I will still charge you for one.

$33 per ounce, which is about 1-1.5 fully stuffed SANDWICH size zip lock bag of fur.

You do not have to wash the hair before sending it to me, but you have to make sure it is clean from any debris such as grass, leaves, dirt or sand. Otherwise I will have to manually pick it and will charge you for the additional time I spent doing this. Thank you for understanding!

What do you need to know about my yarn:
-I spin a 100% chiengora. I will be exclusively your baby's fur.
-The thickness of the yarn is about light to medium.
-It is a 1 ply yarn.
-WPI is 16-18 (approximately)
-1oz = 60+ yards (approximately)
-I do not card/wash the fur before spinning.
-It is recommended that you add another type of yarn to chiengora when making wearable items. It will prevent the items from stretching with time. Suggested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/331840186852?hash=item4d433769e4:g:-jcAAOSw1DtXHcME
-The items you make with your yarn are easily washable in warm water with any mild detergent! Just make sure they dry fast, overnight or so (do not leave them in any dump closed spaces).
-Washing with vinegar helps to eliminate stubborn dog hair smell.

I wish I could give more stars in all the above categories. The ball of yarn made from our dog's fur far exceeded my expectations. It was my husband's wish and Irene made that come true! She was prompt to answer my questions and I felt she put her heart into the project as if it were her own pet. The turnaround time was just a few days and shipping time was quick, so quick that I will have to wait longer for presentation at Christmas. I'm going to wrap a pack of tissues in with the gift; I know he'll need them! Thank you so much, Irene, for this service. What a talent to share in this meaningful way. Jenel Edwards

This came out beautifully. Our dog has white and brown patches and that came through in the yarn.

Beautiful end product, and she took time to make sure my expectations were grounded. Very understanding about how hard it was to let go of the fur, but I’m so glad I did and now have this beautiful memento to work into a memorial project. Thank you!
