    Poodle hair any length is great
    zoomer I'm needing the under coat so if the boxers shed it's great. Most people at first think it's strange but think about it wool is just the under coat , I have made several items for pet talkers. hats scarfs, even add ons to picture frames.
    I spin it and the knit the items. Finally getting a project for me.

    Here's a sweater that Corinna sent to me:

    It's made from English Sheepdog fur, I think. It's unbelievably warm. I'm comfortable in it at -30C!

    I also have a hat made by a different cyber-friend out of my dogs' fur. I can only wear it when it's very cold. Now I understand how the dogs can be toasty warm in extreme temperatures!

    Sorry no white fur here! Only Black and Tan, and Red! I think it would be neat to have a sweater or coat, or jacket or something out of dog's fur though! Can't wait to see what you make

    I have mixed colored dogs so I don't think that would help. That is great that you do that though seems like fun!

    Tango and Winter's chests are white and I usually strip both of them around May or so just because they're going to lose all of that fur anyway and stripping them makes it go away quicker instead of having hair everywhere in the house for a couple months...but I'm not sure if that's too late or if you'd get enough out of it....

    Oh man, if you have a Peke breeder near you, you should really ask them for their fur. Lucky isn't blowing his coat at the moment, but Peke fur would be *perfect* for your project

    I have another question. How much fur does it take to make something like that sweater? I guess my thought is you really aren't going to get a lot of yarn from, say, a grocery bag full of hair. Or are you?

    If you have seen some of the scarfs i have made for some of the gals here I used a bread sack full for those. they are useally about 4-6 inches wide and 5-6 ft long.a groecery bag stuffed would make a short sweater or vest.

    Gosh you guys I didn't realize how many projects I have done for so many of you. If no one minds I am doing a spinning show at the preschool story hour can I take the pictures of the projects to share with the kids?
