Once you see the difference between harvesting dog hair and any more conventional wool type, you will understand why Kendall Crolius said: “Better a sweater from a dog you know and love than a sheep you’ll never meet!” Dog hair is NOT weird. My friend Ann (that’s her real name)…
We all know a healthy coat when we see one; it’s shiny, full, and begging somehow to be touched. We have a special appreciation for healthy coats in our business, because a healthy coat makes a great fiber. Great fiber spins well and knits well. There is just nothing like…

Jeannie Sanke built a business out of a material most pet owners are more than happy to toss out: dog hair.
Have sent 2 orders to Jeannie for spinning, she returned the most beautiful yarn I’ve ever seen, I expect to send more in the new year, can’t believe how pleased I am and how pleased with her I am. Great talented woman.

I have bags of my late dog's brushings that I'm hanging on to. I'll be contacting you for sure one day!

So true for me, and likely for you too.Just a Dog..... From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day. If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure and unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "just a dog," I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog," but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a man/woman." So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog," just smile--because they "just don't understand.
Nothing helps you finish your work like the spinning wheel breaking. The good news is, my DIY repair is holding well. :-)
