This is a bobbin of Tibetan Terrier dog hair in the process of being spun. I'm slowly but surely working on this order...I have 2 pounds to card and spin. The carding is taking the most time. I have to pull apart the balls of fiber by hand, then card a small amount at a time with slicker brushes to weed out any knots or matts or foreign matter, then run it through my carder to straighten all the fibers for ease of spinning.
It's being spun bulky weight...the yarn will become a small blanket! When this skein is dry, I will post a photo of it.
