More dog spinning

Previously for the same owner I spun this light fur. From the darker dog is this extremely downy fluff, not hairy at all.

I found that it made good punis using regular carders and a dowel. Using unsupported longdraw (with a good 'pinch'!) worked very well, and made quite an even yarn. 

 The smell was very doggy while spinning, but washing in a delicate wash gave the finished yarn a very pleasant scent.

 These are the very dogs.

Spinning dog fur into yarn - alsatian

The owner of these very cute creatures sent some brushed fur, light and dark.

The light has spun remarkably well, there are longer fibres in there than the black. It's a little 'stringy' at this stage

But after a good soak in Eucalan it's made quite a nice yarn with a mohair-like halo.
