Felted Dog Fur


After brushing my beautiful dog Keyna there is alot of hair! I have heard of people making sweaters from their dog hair so I spun some of her hair on my spinning wheel. It is not the easiest fibre to spin so I decided to felt it.
So now I offer to take customers animal fur, felt it and make a small to large pouch or pures for them depending on the amount of fur they have and how much they want to spend.
This picture is a sample of what I have made from Keyna's fur from 3-4 brushings. I add a little colored sheeps wool and a sparkle of angelina.
Orders are welcomed! Just convo us and get brushing your dog!

Naturally Spun Sisters Treasures


Kelowna Farmers Market


The Naturally Spun Sisters did our first market of the year together. We had a great stall location and display. It rained for about 20 mins, but the sun came out after that! We sold out of our eco pads and did some great networking. Met a fellow spinner and might be getting some alpca wool. Also had some interested clients for felting their own dogs hair into pouches/bags.
