Dogora!


I finished the borzoi fur I was spinning. After the yarn is spun, then it has to be washed and hung in skeins with a heavy weight on them in order to set the twist, and since my shop is rather cold it takes several days to dry out. I use the metal window sash weights we found in our walls when we remodled our kitchen, they are perfect for that!
I am not sure what I am going to make out of all this. I am not sure I have enough for a scarf, so I will probably make a few small items, picture frame, key chain, or maybe a knitted hat.
If anybody has a long haired dog, please save me your brushings to spin! I am ready to spin more different breeds. I really want to try Alaskan Malamute, and Berniese Mountain dog. Online they call this Cheingora, but I think I like calling it Dogora, especially since I read about the 1960's movie of the same name in the Godzilla vein. Cant wait to watch it. Attack of Dogora!
