Make your pet’s fur brushings into a precious memento
Nearly any fibre can be made into yarn- yes, that includes pet fur! I have spun yarn from a whole menagerie of cat, dog, and rabbit fur (that’s not counting the sheep, alpaca and goat fleece and hair I usually use!). Once we have yarn, it can be made into almost anything. Just want some yarn to knit up? I can do that too. Even if you don’t have much of their fur to use, I can blend it with a more “traditional” fibre to get more out of the brushings and create a truly bespoke yarn for any use.
