Is the Process Humane? YES! All you have to do is collect the fur that your pet normally and naturally loses. The process doesn’t harm your pet at all.

What Kinds of Fur Can You Spin? We can spin a variety of breeds of animals, including dogs, cats, llamas, alpacas, or any other long-furred animal. For details, check out this link.

Can You Spin My Pet’s Fur? If your pet has fur that is at least 2 inches long, chances are we can spin it! For a detailed list of the breeds we can spin, check out this link.

How Do I Collect My Pet’s Fur? This depends on the breed of pet that you have. Most of the time, you can simply collect the fur off the brush of your pet from your regular groomings. For detailed directions, visit this link.

How Much Fur Should I Collect? This depends on how large a project you are planning to do. For a small project—like a memory square—we need only a few ounces of fur. For a larger project—like a scarf—we’ll need at least 10 ounces of fur. For detailed directions, visit this link.

What is Involved in Spinning the Fur? We go through a multi-step process to ensure the highest-quality product for you. We spin the fur, wash it, deodorize it, set it, and dry it. For details, visit this link.

Why Don’t You Card the Fur? In the preparation of wool spinning, the wool is always carded first. However, we don’t card your fur before we start spinning it. This gives more character to your yarn and preserves more of the original “look” of your pet in the yarn. This is particularly important for multi-colored breeds. Consider a Keeshond, which is black, grey, and white, with an occasional bit of brown thrown in for good measure. If we carded the fur, the entire skein would turn out grey, as the colors blended together. But when we don’t card the fur, the skein has sections that are white, grey, black, and slightly brown. In other words, the yarn looks more like the original dog it came from.

What Can I Make With My Yarn? The possibilities are endless! You can knit, crochet, or weave the yarn. You can make small projects, like a memory square, or larger projects, like a blanket. We can spin the yarn for you, and then you can let your imagination run wild, or you can have us weave or crochet a project for you.

How Much Does it Cost? We base our spinning costs on the final weight of the finished skein and what options you choose. We require a $50 deposit to begin the spinning process, with the balance, if any, due before the finished product is sent to you. For a detailed pricing list, visit this link.

How Long Does It Take? This depends on how large a skein you would like and how many people are ahead of you. We place you “in line” as soon as your deposit has been received. Your item is then entered into the queue, based on a first come, first served basis. The entire spinning process usually takes between 2 and 3 weeks, from start to finish, once the project has been started..
