Spinning fur into yarn!

[gnicoll]

Freedom is right. Spinning pet hair that doesn't kill or harm the pet in any way is completely legal. Any fur that is lost (ie, shed or groomed) normally is completely legal.

I'd be happy to spin your pet's fur (for a small fee ). I've got a wonderful, super-fuzzy and warm scarf made from my dogs' shed fur that's keeping me wonderfully toasty in this freezing weather!

I had to say goodbye to my dog in November. I have two gallon ziplock bags of his hair. Would you mind if I sent them one at a time? That way, if the worst happened and one bag was lost, I'd still have the other one. I've been saving some hand died yarn a friend made me for years specifically for this. Going to crochet a blanket. His square will be in the middle of it.

You bet! I know it's important to you, so I PROMISE not to lose it!!! I meticulously label everything that is shipped to me, so you don't have to worry about me losing it on you. If you're worried about the postal service, I'd highly recommend you send it with a signature required. In fact, when I return the spun yarn to you, I ship it Priority Mail with a signature required to ensure that it safely returns to you.

That would be great!!! ...Now i just have to let it go. I'm still rather clingy to every single piece of King that i have left. Even if it's a single piece of fur. (You should have seen me the other night picking them off of stockings i haven't worn in almost a year, the other night.) I'll let you know if and when i'm ever able to let it out of my sight. *sigh* I'm a hopeless case.

Thank you!

Also, Good luck with your endeavors! I keep hoping that "furspinning" will take off in popularity. It's a renewable resource. We're keeping and feeding pets anyhow, why not use what we have available? Cotton is horrible on the environment (but it feels oh so good!) The only thing i like better than cotton is fur. Silk is nice, but i only like it on occasion.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! Just so you know, depending on how much fur you send me, I can usually spin it within a week, and get it back to you. So, it wouldn't be out of your posession for all that long...
