    I have a very old piece of advice regarding dog yarn. MY great aunt Ellen born in 1898 said her grandparents from far northern Sweden used dog yarn all the time. The short of the story is don't use it for socks.

      @@FluffyBuzzard2TheMax Well think about it. Feet sweat in nice thick warm socks. Wool and fur have natural oils that keep them soft and even if your wash it some of the oil remains and so a little of the scent remains even if we don't notice it. The warm damp socks faint odor was noticed by the dog ...
      So it marked its territory.

    A Navajo friend of mine does something called threading goose and ostrich feathers; where he strips the feathers from the core shaft and then spins the 'feather' threads to either a cotton core or a thin wool core. He usually does a minimum of two passes through the spinner to get a stable yarn.

    • @Briael
      @Briael 3 года назад +1

      It's called core spinning. Spinning fur and hair is not much different than spinning a very short sheep's wool. Unfortunately, because the length (staple) is so short, it can often result in a wiry wool that makes a scratchy and harsh item when knitted up. Using a core thread to wrap the short fibers around keeps it (relatively) soft so the end yarn stays close to the softness of the pet's coat.

      @33screamingfrogs34 4 года назад +4

      I know this is a late reply and I'm not the original poster, but I can kind of answer these! Most dog hair (and any hair that isn't "wool" in texture) is a lot finer than your sheep or even alpaca wool, so you have to use carders (the combing tool, here they have a drum carder where you just crank the handle) meant for cotton and other fine fibers. I'm currently learning how to spin yarn! I've been researching for 4 months and this week I finally got a drop spindle (kind of like a spinning top you attach the yarn to) so I can put that reading into practice.

    • @Briael
      @Briael 3 года назад +1

      @@33screamingfrogs34 All you need is 15 minutes a day and you'll be getting consistent at spinning in no time at all. Once you understand that twist is what holds yarn together, and you can spin a length that doesn't fall apart, you will pick it up quickly. It's not difficult, but it will take a little time for your hands to develop "memory" of comfort at holding the fiber to be spun, and how much tension you want the fiber to be under. If you have the means (financial and availability) it is very much worth having 3 or 4 lessons with an experienced spinner, even if you don't have them right from the start of yoru spinning journey. A teacher will help you correct small mistakes and bad posture so you don't develop bad habits that actively harm you or your resultant yarn. :)

      when you brush your poodle, the undercoat that is left in the brush, the soft undercoat is what should be spun not the scratchy guard hairs

    • @Dinglboot
      @Dinglboot 4 года назад +4

      It would be different. Here is the undercoat being spun, from a dog that has a dual coat (harsh guard hairs and very fine, soft undercoat). A poodle doesn't have any significant undercoat and the hair is somewhere in between undercoat and guard hair qua softness. It could be very interesting! I would guess it would end up being more like mohair than cashmere.

      I'm sure you could! I seriously just made some okay-ish (but not bad either) yarn out of the hairs left in my poodles brush. I don't have a spindle, but really wanted to try out of curiosity, so I rigged one up. Literally poked a pencil through a round piece of cardboard with a notch cut in it, and then screwed a little metal hook I had into the eraser. Brushed the loose hair straight a few times with a slicker brush, gently stretched those hairs into a very loose and airy roll, and then just went to town spinning my own poodle yarn. Now, I didn't wash the hair before hand, since it was just an experiment, but the next time I do this, I may try rinsing it in vinegar. I'm afraid the loose hairs would turn to a clump of felt long before I could rinse all the soap suds out :/

    • @Briael
      @Briael 3 года назад

      Depends on the amount of guard hairs versus undercoat in the breed of dog/cat, how much time you want to dedicate to de-hairing, how short the fiber is and how you choose to spin it. If you are working with brushed fiber you will get a less scratchy result than if you are working with clipped/shorn fiber, because all those little sharp ends don't blend as smoothly as a brushing. If you already have sensitivity with wool, then you will probably have sensitivity with dog yarn. You can get around that by lining a finished product with a silk or cotton fabric if you want to wear it next to skin, but dog fiber is known for being very, very warm so many people make scarves, hats and mittens from it, or blankets and wraps.

    • @Briael
      @Briael 3 года назад +1

      It depends what you want to make with the final yarn. Cut yarn has a sharp edge that doesn't blend against other fibers so you end up with a scratchy yarn. Even so, if you are going to weave the end yarn into a wall hanging or you want to felt it for a jacket or shawl or scarf it won't matter if the fiber is scratchy as it will bed down into the felt.

      Yes. I spin my ragdolls' fur. Sometimes blended with sheep's wool or alpaca, sometimes alone. Depends what project it's going to end up in. It is extremely flyaway though, and it sheds for a while.

    How do you wash the dog hair so it doesn’t smell like dog?

    • @Somewhere-In-AZ

      Same way you wash wool. Gather it in a mesh laundry bag and wash by pressing through slightly soapy water, soak for 20-40 minutes and rinse, rinse, rinse until clear. Put the bag in your washing machine to SPIN only and then air dry. Don't agitate it, just press, press, press, so you don't "felt" it. Dry, card and spin, then spin two or three strands together to make yarn.

      They're called slicker brushes and you can buy them in Walmart or any pet store like Petsmart.

      I have no idea. If you did try I think it would need to be about six inches long.

    How do you make it coloured

    • @Briael
      @Briael 3 года назад

      Fiber reactive dyes, or plant dyes. As hair/fur are protein fibers (just like sheep, alpaca, rabbit) they can all be dyed, but there is always the risk of felting it (just think how often cats and dogs mat).

    Did you move down here to Oklahoma or was rhis while you were still north? Ive been wondering where you need a home at? We are NW part if Oklahoma and there are places here for sale but im thinking the vid where you were walking onsoggy subirrigated ground must be near Tulsa or SE part of state. I enjoyed the homes you are toured in 2 vids i watched yesterday but western half has cheaper properties.

      It definitely isn't something you want to wear next to your skin, it is very prickly and SMELLS like a wet dog still. But for some pet owners this means a lot to them so I don't mind doing it.
