You may choose to have your pet’s fur blended with soft Merino wool before spinning. Blending can improve the overall feel and performance of the finished yarn while still preserving the special connection to your pet.
Benefits of adding Merino wool:
Adds elasticity, making the yarn easier to knit or crochet with
Improves durability and softness, especially helpful for shorter or coarser fur
Can help reduce excess warmth, as dog fur is naturally very insulating
Increases the total amount of yarn produced
Wool color matching:
The Merino wool will be matched to your pet’s fur color as closely as possible to create a natural, blended appearance in the finished yarn
How to order a blend:
Merino wool must be purchased in 25 gram quantities, just like the fur spinning service.
To choose your blend ratio:
Select the amount of wool that matches the percentage you’d like added
Example: For a 50/50 blend, order the same number of wool quantities as fur quantities
(If you are sending 50g of fur, select 50g of Merino wool)
A 50/50 blend results in double the finished yarn weight compared to using fur alone
If you’re unsure how much to add, a 50/50 blend is a popular choice for balance between softness, strength, and wearability.
