So the title of this post is pretty self-explanatory, but there's a catch...
This isn't just any fleece I'm giving away, it's the winter under-coat of my 11 month old Husky - I was a bit hesitant but it's soooo soft and apparently our breeder spins with it with great success. You see, we left our pup on Friday evening looking like this:
And by this morning, following her 3rd trip to the vets in as many days, she looks like this:
Grotty I know! Apparently Huskies are very susceptible to getting sore faces, but being such an impatient little puppy, she won't let it heal - after constant scratching, we've eventually had to sedate her this afternoon.
Therefore, she cannot groom herself, it's getting warm and she's uncomfortable. So I gave her a little brush. One full washing basket later of undercoat brushed out:
And she's a bit happier!
But what to do with it? I gave up on spinning a while ago, and I can't leave that much out for the birds to nest in.
If you'd like it, please leave a comment below, and I'll email you back to get your address. I'll happily split it between a couple of people if there's a rush, but it will be first come, first served!
Hope you're having a great week!

My little dog also has problems with a sore face: he scratches his mouth because of the allergies, then ends up needing antibiotics and steroids, as well as antihistamines. For the next two weeks, I have to be on constant itch alert because he has to have a fortnight without any meds before his appointment with the allergy specialist.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the UK but am not a spinner; good luck finding a home for your fleece!
Ahhh, your poor doggie! She looks absolutely beautiful in the first pic, though! Wow, that's pretty astonishing you got so much fur off her. I had heard that you could spin with dog fur - I wonder what it's like as a yarn? I'm not a spinner either, but I hope someone can find a good use for it.

The Russians regularly spin dog hair. It's incredibly soft and warm. We have gorgeous socks made from it.
ReplyDeletePoor baby! I hope she gets better soon.
ReplyDeletepoor thing! xx
