Have you ever wondered what you could do with all the hair that your pets leave behind? Have you thought about making yarn out of it?  The fur from many breeds of dogs and cats make a wonderfully soft, warm yarn.

I have been owned by Siberian Huskies for the last 9 years and had heard about people that spun their fur into yarn. I thought what a great idea. I searched for classes that taught how to spin and either they were too far away or were cancelled due to poor participation. While volunteering for a Siberian Husky rescue at a family pet fair, I met a woman that was volunteering for a different Siberian Husky rescue spinning dog hair at their booth. I inquired if she gave lessons and she offered to teach me. Thank you Phyllis!

You can also send a very generous handful of your pet's fur in an envelope to:

Woo To You
attn:  Donna
P.O. Box 1123

Please indicate what breed of fur it is and if you would like a 2 ply or 3 ply sample. Also include a self addressed stamped envelope so the sample can be mailed back to you.

If you don't want yarn made or your pet's fur is not spinnable, we can always come up a different type of memento/keepsake. Click here to see other options.
