Teddy Bears


I was recently contacted by a very nice woman who had lost her dog and cat close together. She had heard you could spin their hair so over the years had saved their brushings. After a lengthly conversation we decided she would like teddy bears made with the spun hair. So off to my wheel and knitting needles I went to create these bears. The lighter one is made with the dog hair and the darker one is her cat hair. She was so pleased with the results and greatful she had saved their brushings.
