Chiengora (Dog Hair) Scarf from my dogs or yours
I can make you a handspun and handwoven scarf from your dog's hair or mine in two different sizes. Scarves are either made either a regular size of 7 inches wide ($200) or an extra-wide size of 10 inches wide ($300). Both sizes will have the same length of approximately 71-74 inches with fringes.
I have a pack of Akbash/Great Pyrenees dogs, so if you'd like a scarf from one of my dogs or a combination of their hair, just let me know and I can do that if I have the hair saved at that time.
For added strength, I spin the hair around a core yarn of alpaca. Then on the outside, all you see is the dog hair when finished. Each scarf is also wet felted in hot/soapy water to remove the oil (and scent) from the yarn. Each scarf is one of a kind and made to order, so send me a message here or via my email: [email protected] and we can discuss the project.
How Much Hair To Send: 8 ounces or if you don't have a way to measure, then a gallon-sized zip-lock bag stuffed tight and full will be enough for either a wide or regular-sized scarf. I can send back any extra with the finished scarf. Please make sure the hair is at least 1 1/2 to 2 inches in length.
Where to Send Hair: When you are ready to send the hair, let me know and I will give you my mailing address.
Please include a note with the package about what size scarf you'd like and your return address and contact information. Also, a check for the amount ($200 for a regular size or $300 for an extra-wide scarf). If sending a check, please add $8 for the return shipping of the finished item(s). I deposit checks not until I'm working on the project or finished. I also can create for you a special listing to check out online once I begin or finish the project if that works best for you.
