Yarns: Handspun from your fiber or ours.
We will hand spin the fiber
of your choice into a unique yarn suitable for handknitting, crocheting, weaving, rug hooking, or what ever you choose. Dog
hair from a beloved pet makes an especially beautiful and warm yarn. Many breeds have fiber ideal for spinning, especially
Great Pyrenees, Newfoundland, Samoyed, American Eskimo, Siberian Husky, Malamute, Sheltie, and Collie, to give a few examples.
Now you can do something with all that soft fur left after you brush your dog.
People all over the world
have used dog hair yarn for centuries in clothing, blankets, rugs and fiber art.
**September 2008 I am not taking on any more
dog hair until January 2009. Please email me if you'd like to go on the waiting list. Thank you!**

Dog hair fiber is sometimes called 'chiengora'. (from the French
'chien' meaning dog, and 'gora' meaning extremely-warm-hair. Or something like that.) Dog hair yarn does not have a dog odor,
it doesn't shed (much), and it is very warm. It's great for making hats, mittens, and scarves, or adding a unique accent to
any handmade project.
Prices for finished yarn start at $9.00 per ounce for a two-ply
yarn. It's a little extra for dyeing, blending with other fibers, very fine or very bulky yarns, etc. Please email with specific
questions: mailto:yarn@elkcreekllamas.com Or send us some of your fiber, and we'll spin a sample of yarn for you at no charge
