Procedure
Upon receiving your dog's hair, I wash it and lay
it out to dry on screens. I will separate the fiber
and fluff it to facilitate the drying.
Next I card the fiber. This aligns the fibers to
prepare them for spinning. For large orders I use a drum carder.
The carded fiber is then spun into a yarn or "singles" which will be stored until all the fiber is spun. I then take 2 strands and spin them together, this is called plying. When all the yarn is plied, I skein the yarn, wash it and set the twist. When dry, I weigh it. The finished yarn weight is how your fee is calculated.
