Now, this is absolute luxury.
Fur That has been made into Yarn yep You read that right.
Fur + Thread = Yarn
They don't make a lot of guarantees about weight or gauge.
It sure looks pretty, comes in a lot of colors, and natural critter colors.
Be forwarned, this is one of those intrest vs committment things. The Chicken has an interest in breakfast and the Pig has a committment in a ham & egg breakfast. Therefore, in this case the sheep or alpaca has an interest in your yarn, whereas the fox or rabbit (in this case) is committed. Other forms of yarn probably require less of the donor animal.
$100 for a hat kit.
Maybe not bad, I don't know. It seems like a lot of extra work.
But, isn't that what Luxury is about? Most of us probably don't knit because it's the easiest or cheapest way to clothe our families. Those Canadians sure do know how to stay warm.
You Betcha'.
I'm thinking that anything made out of a $100 ball of yarn is going to make someone feel pretty pampered.
Time to use that fancy scarf technique in Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's book on how to have two matching ends with no waste.
