And 4:: Where do you get alpaca fleece? Do you buy it? I hope thats not too may questions! ^.^ Dog hair is "more ... By: Spin2Weave. on 26 Jul 10, 15:38:20 Dog hair is "more difficult" to spin than some of the longer staple wools on a spindle or wheel because the? undercoat is very short and often "slippery" because it's so soft. But it can be done. You will want a light weight spindle or support spindle unless you are spinning rather thick yarn. I've never tried thick yarn on a spindle, only finer yarns and very little dog hair. Don't get discouraged if you don't succeed right away, try different things. Good luck, Husky spins beautifully. i washed a trashbag ...

By: Spin2Weave. on 13 Jul 10, 15:41:44 Any brushed undercoat will work well. Samoyed is especially nice, as is collie, Aust Shepherd, Great Pyr and other long double coated breeds. Old English Sheepdog and Newfoundland are not too soft - very harsh and dense. You do NOT want anything clipped from the dog,? must be brushed out. Dog hair will felt - so treat is gently, like wool. Most groomers are very glad to save for you, just be sure to stop by every couple days to pick it up so they aren't stuck with it. Thank? you for the ... By: irishagold. on 13 Jul 10, 02:07:20 Thank? you for the video. I am interested to spin dog's hair too. If I go to the groomer, what hair should I ask for? Thank you.

By: MattsGrandmother. on 21 Jul 09, 16:59:20 Just posted a comment and I was signed? in as Mattsgrandmother instead of spin2weave. Sorry - it's me. If you have a heavier spindle you should spin the dog yarn a little thicker, lighter spindle and you can spin finer yarn. I LOVE lumpy bumpy dog yarn spun from picked dog down instead of carded. Lots of texture and "character", and it really fuzzes. You can see Matthew, 5 yr old g'son, helping me spin at mattsgrandmother in Sat AM at home video. I'll have to work ... By: MattsGrandmother. on 21 Jul 09, 16:56:09 I'll have to work on a dog hair video. It's easiest to start with a 50/50 mix of? dog and a nice crimpy but short wool carded into rollags. When you get the feel for than, go to 25% wool and card a few more rollags to spin. Gradually work to 100% dog if that's what you want. I like to spin dog with the least amount of twist possible. I do dog on the Royale Hare video. Biggest thing with dog is the very short staple, and it's fine and generally "slippery". Use a light weight spindle. This was a very ...

For "clean" alpaca I often don't wash first unless I don't plan to use the fiber right away, then I wash the fleece before storage. For Wool, mohair and so forth I do wash first as the lanolin will gum things up. For dog hair depends on how clean it is to start. Most of the canine stuff I get is pretty clean, dogs bathed? first. It's the lanolin you need to remove first to protect your equpment. Alpaca is usually just dusty - very dusty. Do you? wash it ...
