Knitting with Dog Fur

Connie has a scarf made from the fur of her dog. The dog is a Samoyed, with long white fur. Every year she combs and brushes out the undercoat. She saved the wool and washed it. She found a woman to spin the fur into yarn. The dog fur was mixed with some wool to make it stronger. Sheep's wool makes a strong yarn and the dog fur makes it soft. Connie had another scarf made of all dog's fur and in some places the yarn broke.

Connie's scarf is furry and white, soft as a kitten. She wore her scarf like a shawl and she also wore a necklace made out of Swarovski crystal from Austria. She looked fantastic!
