Dog Hair Items (Chiengora)
There is a wide variety of items that I can make from dog hair, either from your dog's hair or from mine. Please make sure the hair is at least 2 inches in length. If it is a bit shorter, I may be able to spin it using core yarn if you'd like. Hair under 1 inch is too hard for me to spin.
When you are ready to send the hair, let me know and I will give you my mailing address. Please include a note in the package about what item you'd like, as well as your return address and contact information. Also, a check for the amount. If sending a check, please add $8 for the return shipping of the finished item(s). I can also create a special listing for you to check out online once I begin or finish the project if that works best for you. My phone for text is 307-655-9176 and email: [email protected]
Yarn Spun From Your Dog's Hair: I will custom spin your dog's hair into yarn. The price is $20 per finished ounce of yarn. For more information about custom yarn, click here.
Handwoven Scarf From Your Dog or My Dog's Hair: I can make you a handwoven scarf spun from your dog's hair or mine in two different sizes. Scarves are either made 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.

Handwoven Small Purse: I make handwoven purses to hold small items such as a cell phone, credit card, and money. I personally don't like to carry a big purse, so I made the first one for myself and made this video. The approximate measurements are 7 1/2 by 4 1/2 to 5 inches and 24 inches with the strap. I spin the dog hair around a core cotton yarn for added strength when weaving, though you only see the dog hair when finished. 2 ounces of dog hair is needed to make a purse. The price is $60.
Crochet Heart Made From Your Dog's Hair or Mine: I can make the heart from my Guardian Dogs’ hair or yours. Each heart is $20. For more information about Dog Hair Crochet Hearts, click here.
Hat Made From Your Dog's Hair: The price is $100 for one hat. I can also do a headband instead of a hat for the same price. For more information about a hat made from your dog's hair, click here.
