HandSpun Art

Welcome!  Keep your pet close to you forever with yarn spun from their fur. Dog yarn, Cat Yarn, or Pet yarn.  

   Your pets' hair and fur (cat, dog, rabbit, horse, etc.) can be spun into a beautiful yarn that you will treasure. It can be as simple as saving your dog or cat brushings from a relaxing grooming session.

   And be sure to send a 'sample' to me and have it spun into dog yarn or cat yarn at no cost to you! A small palmful is more than enough to work with to create your dog yarn, cat yarn, or any pet yarn.

   I also carry beautiful batts and roving created from raw products that are natural and environmentally friendly: direct from the farm suri alpaca and shetland fleeces; ecologically friendly Tussah silk and Tencel; my own satin angora rabbit fibers.

Pet who is currently being spun into dog yarn, cat yarn, or pet yarn.

Fiber Notes

  My SW Merino/Tencel batts are now back in inventory! I have a few more color ways to work through, but I have a nice selection currently available. Thank you for your patience, Christine.

Notes from DFW FiberFest

  I am back from the DFW FiberFest and just want to comment on the many wonderful people I met. It was a joy to talk with everyone about my spinning of pet fibers, to hear the stories about their pets and was even shown a few pictures of them. I showed how I card fibers through my machine and spun pet hair samples.

  My batts and roving were a great success. The SuperWash Merino/Tencel was my best seller and I couldn't keep enough on the shelves.

  I introduced two new products at the show. Carded silk batts with noils and Natural Indigo dyed batts. Both were well received. People couldn't stop touching the silk batts. They are incredibly soft. I had many comments that it was like "feeling a cloud" or "it is so soft I can't feel anything".
