VergeKnits Studio: Doggie Spins: Bear
http://vergeknits.blogspot.com/2010/03/doggie-spins-bear.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. A few months ago, my friend Ross handed me 3 grocery bags full of Bear's fur to turn into yarn. Since this was such a large order, I had Bear's fur processed (into rovings) at Wellington Fibre Mill. Here's a picture of what I have accomplished so far. Go to QUICK LINKS (left side panel) for more doggies spins, knits, and tails. Posted by Julie Verge. I can hardly wait to get my hands on it! And what a sweet boy who so willingly donated his fur. Isnt he just the cutest!

Hand spinning, knitting, weaving, rug hooking, fibre arts. One down…one to go. I have finished one sock and turned the heel on the second. I didn’t slip stitch the bottom of the foot as I thought it wouldn’t wear well so just did stripes which gives it a different look. The leg of the sock is 8 1/2 inches long then I do the heel for 2 1/2 inches so total is 11 inches. My sock is coming along and I just turned the heel. I really like the look of the variegated yarn with the black. And so it Begins…. Well ...

Putting on the Dog | Kerry Spins

Hand spinning, knitting, weaving, rug hooking, fibre arts. Putting on the Dog. The white fibre is the lamb fleece and the golden is the Retriever. These piles of fibre would be blended together. This is the blended fibre in a batt ready to be spun. I have an electric carding machine to help me with this. I spun this on my Ashford Joy spinning wheel. Here you see a single ply on a bobbin. When I had 2 bobbins spun I then spun the 2 together backwards to give me a 2 ply yarn. This is the 2 ply yarn. Gina&#...

Hand spinning, knitting, weaving, rug hooking, fibre arts. I am taking a break from knitting my usual multi coloured socks. And trying a new style using a slip stitch method. I wanted to use bold opposite colours to show off the stitch more and am really pleased with the way they are looking so far…….stay tuned for the finished product. Turned the heel →.
