Knitting with Dog Hair: Better a Sweater from a Do

$19.99

No, it's not a joke! Knitting with Dog Hair became a cult sensation when first published in the 1990s. Back by popular demand, this expanded edition by author and spinner Kendall Crolius reveals how dog knitting became a movement and helped launch cottage industries of artisans spinning pet hair. It includes an expanded guide of dog breeds, including the trendy designer dogs that have become all the rage. This twenty-first-century edition, a perfect gift book for all occasions, provides tip-filled, easy-to-use advice on:

How to evaluate a breed based on its potential for knitting

How to harvest, clean, and spin your pooch's fuzz--and why you don't necessarily need a long-haired breed to create yarn from your dog
How to modify your favorite patterns to accommodate pet-spun yarn
How to find experienced pet-hair spinners

Whether it's mittens from your Malamute, a cap from your Collie, or an afghan from your Afghan, this extensive catalogue raisonne of the various breeds (Tom Ferrell, New York Times Book Review) is the definitive guide to putting on the dog.
