I'm looking for someone in WA who can spin dog hair....I have collected several bags of Samoyed undercoat from the many many many hours of combing!!!!! Years ago I saw a cardigan that someone had knitted from her Sammy's undercoat and it was stunning! Soft and light like a cloud.

Any ideas?

If you had posted this yesterday I would have asked the ladies spinning Angora fleece today if they can do dog hair :) Maybe contact someone like the angora society or alpaca society and see if they could suggest someone :eek:

Thanks Mirawee :) I've asked a few people before but they look at me like I just grew two heads when I ask about spinning dog hair!!! :eek: Good idea to ask the angora society...I hadn't thought of that.

There is a 'Handweavers, Spinners and Dyers' Guild in WA, Contact:

Alexander Park Craft House, Clyde Rd, Menora.

Phone: 9370 5004 (with answer machine)

I looked up the details recently as I have not long learned to spin with a hand drop spindle but I don't think I'm up to Samoyed yet, I've only just moved on to Merino lol.

Will check with my oldest sister, she knows alot of craft people and I'm sure there will be spinners amoungst them, I seem to remember her saying something about a friend using dog hair at some stage. Don't think they will find it strange, if she doesn't know she has enough contacts that probabaly will know.

He's in good hands Hannah, and will be home before you know it. He's a strong fellow and he's got a good mum that went with her gut instint to get a second opinion. Keep us posted if you get the chance, will keep checking for updates on him. :laugh:

Probably not. He will be pretty groggy from the GA and its a really long way to drive. I will go visit in the morning though if I can.
