LOL, no kidding! I went to school yesterday, and it wasn't until I was in the bright lights of the classroom that I noticed I was covered in rat fur.

Spinning dog fur sounds really interesting. I might want to give it a try one day; maybe make a blanket or two. That would take a long time lol. Is it just like spinning other things? Can anyone give me an idea of it?

When I was in high school we had a Landseer Newfoundland that I would brush and get garbage bags of hair out of him. I think it would be neat to have something made out of brushed out dog hair. The ultimate in recycling!

I charge depending on How clean the fur is and about $6.00 an hour for spinning I can get a large grocery bag done usually in 4-5 hours. Then depending on pattern and item for Knitting. I don't weave so blankets are out. I do have freinds that weave.
I have a nice newfy tam and scarf. Hubby has a nice warm hunting hat thanks to our Lady (black Newf) .I ', getting hubby to get the tunic photo in a fromat I can add on her , later to day.

How much fur (bag size?) would be needed to do a long scarf?

I'd love to have something made out of Kai and Kae's fur. They have so much undercoat..it's unbelievable. I'll have enough for a blanket in no time.

I know I wouldn't want a sweater, or a hat, but I just would like a blanket. I also like the idea of a scarf, but I think that after I was going to do it, I would chicken out of something.

Wowser. You could charge quadruple that price, I'd think. Spinning is a rare skill.
