About this Item

A very nice soft cover copy without flaw, 7 X 9" 101 pages. Any pet lover can craft homegrown and handmade treasures by spinning and knitting with dog (and cat) hair. Dog hair garments have been worn proudly by indigenous peoples and the rich and famous for generations. Vincent Astor sported a scarf knit by his wife Minnie, from yarn made from their beloved poodle, Nora and Mikhail Baryshnikov reportedly wore a pair of leg warmers made from his dogs. This is a comprehensive compendium of information, complete with photos, diagrams, patterns and an all-breed glossary of fuzz. Written with the novice spinner in mind, there is also an Appendix of Spinners-for Hire. This book will give you as much pleasure as the garments you create from your canine companion.
