#chiengora

I will admit that I prefer long staple fiber everyday.

I wish I could tell you how warm this hat is!!

A quick video to show you how I clean my dog fur in preparation to spin it into yarn. Enjoy!!

Turns out video editing can be really time consuming! I hope you like!

This is the link to my blog post about how I clean and prep my chiengora! The fiber came from a dog named Bailey!

Sorry for the long abscence but I was in the wind for a while as we have now "officially" moved across the county (again). I am enjoying living in New York and have been slowly getting around

I ordered up some labels 2 weeks ago and they finally got here! This is one of my handspun2hat chiengora hats finished off with a label. The label has the name of my soon to be stocked etsy store,

This small skein of chiengora is just calling to be a colorwork pattern. I'm thinking skulls on a knit beanie. What do you think?

The dog this fiber came from was a wolf hybrid so this cowl is my Northerner cowl in honor of the upcoming last season of Game of Thrones! Chiengora mixed with wool and silk for a supper soft and warm

I found more small batch cakes of yarn! They may be reproducing in there. This hat is a mix of great pyr, alpaca, Moreno and silk. I can no longer be sure I got to all my small batches of yarn. 2 more

This is a warm hat! With about a third of it being chiengora it better be. Mixed up everything in my leftover fluff basket and blended in some green. And interesting spin and a joy to knit.

I wanted to get a yarn with vibrant colors that would jump out at me and hold my attention. Wool and Poodle hair come together in this blend to make a wonderfully dense yarn that worked into this stellar

Looks like I have made myself an xrp fan hat. This yarn came from a blend of wool, chiengora, silk and angelina for an awesome flash in the right light. This batch resulted in two hats. The second hat

The husky that donated his fiber for this blend will always be appreciated. Husky, alpaca, silk and wool all went into the dye pot to result in a soft and semi dense yarn I knit into this great slouchy

After spinning up a pink/magenta, chiengora and sparkle single, I found a wound up single of alpaca and angora tucked away that I plied with the pink single. I figured this would be skein to make a short

This beauty contains dyed angora, alpaca and chiengora. So yummy. Luxurious drape with soft and silky warmth . I love how fast this hat warms you up. I am still debating if i should put a pom pom on this

Moreno, alpaca, angora and (you guessed it) chiengora come together to for this awesome hat! Slouchy and warm this hat was made to hold special meaning. This hat holds flashes of green and orange which

This is probably my favorite hat! I named this hat "Red John" in honor of Big John, the great pyr whose fiber was brushed and harvested to help create it. I meet him when visiting a friend's

This hat is dense and warm due to the generous amount of poodle used in it in addition to the Moreno wool. Totally brings out the winter vibe as well.

While this creation is mostly wool, there is about 25% of dog brushing from a very well loved dog that has no really breed designation. Doesn't matter though, as this hat is almost as spectacular to wear
