Over numerous years, I have collected 'combings' from our long-haired German Shepherd with an intention to use it in some way. Having a double coat, generally after combing, the contents looked like this close-up:
Over a 14 year period, I had collected over 1.5kg & decided to get some of it spun
(click here to find out details) after sorting the 3 main colours of the fur into light, medium & dark shades:
 |
| Light fur - generally from belly, inner legs & 'GSD trousers' |
 |
| Medium fur - main body sides & ruff |
 |
| Dark fur - upper back |
Apart from knitting the yarn, I also intend to make some of it into felt.
