"Companion Cashmere"

The most interesting site I visited today is VIPFibers
Very Interesting. I think we definitely need to do more research on people that wear their pet's fiber.
Of course, that's coming from me, that wants to have an alpaca. Wasn't Mary's Little Lamb a pet? No one would have given her a hard time about wearing a wool sweater. Right?
I've visited alpacas. They're pretty friendly little guys.
And, Angora Rabbits - now that's a cuddly little fiber factory right there, let me tell you.
So, why do we have a problem with Dog Yarn, or Cat Yarn? Haven't I been seeing adds for Yac fiber and even Buffalo?
We will definitely be exploring this more and soon...................

Why not? Our clever ancestors didn't have a problem with it. As a matter of fact, centuries ago, it was considered that good luck was brought to anyone wearing a garment spun from dog hair. And we all could use a little of that!

Home spinners like to refer to their handspun dog yarn as "Chiengora" (pronounced she-an-gora). Chien is French for dog and gora is derived from angora, the soft fur of a rabbit. We, here at VIP Fibers, like to refer our handspun yarn as "Canine Cashmere" or Feline Cashmere" and to cover all basis "Companion Cashmere"
