Anyone know of anyone who does this in Scotland and could help a friend of mine who has hairy yak like dogs?

I have a long haired German shepherd who produced such lovely soft undercoat when groomed that I thought I'd have a go. I didn't card it, but spun it straight and unwashed. I got some lovely soft fibre, but it was not a lot of fibre from several carrier bags of fluff so I've focussed on my sheep's wool which I have by the sackload! Some dog hairs just don't have enough crimp to catch together either so would struggle to spin. I'd say just have a play and see what happens!

Wouldn't it depend on the type of dog that you keep? Some have coarser coats than others and some finer than others. What type of dog do you have doganjo?

There have been a few discussions about spinning dog hair on the FB group 'Spinners in the UK' - you could ask on there?  Or if you don't want to join the group, I could ask for you?

Not for me, my dogs don't have heavy coats.  My friend Tina has Large Munsterlanders.
