Here are just a few examples of interesting hobbies available SPINNING “SHELTIE” DOGS HAIR In 1980 I spent a holiday on the Isle of Arran and whilst there I encountered a lady who was giving spinning lessons with sheep fleeces. I duly took advantage of having a lesson whilst I was there. At that time I already had a fair amount of dog hair and couldn’t find anyone to spin it for me so I thought I would have a go myself. I purchased a spinning wheel and fortunately I found a lady who gave lessons in spinning locally, although she only used fleece, but I started off by using the sheltie hair and found that I thoroughly enjoyed it once I could get the wheel to keep going in the right direction. From thereon I continued to spin for a hobby and at Crufts dog show where I was exhibiting for the first time, I wore a jacket spun and knitted from my dog’s hair. At that time there was a gentleman taking a film of different things and he filmed me in my outfit and I later discovered it was for Australian T.V. That was fortunate for my brother and his family who saw this before I did but wasn’t too sure it was me. Since then I have appeared on TV on four different occasions, sometimes at home and sometimes in the studio. Each occasion was an experience and the dogs I took along with me thoroughly enjoyed themselves. At this time I was knitting up mittens, hats, waistcoats, jackets etc. but my final piece was a ‘bedspread’ of crocheted squares sewn together. It is a lovely piece of work and something I shall always cherish. When ‘Discover Dogs’ was showcased at Earls Court, London, I was asked to come along with my spinning wheel to sit and spin and talk to the public. Over the following years I found that the spinning of dog hair was a great surprise to a lot of people who attended and they were all very interested in it. I also spun at Crufts dog show for a number of years. Shelties come in three colours ‐ sable, blue merle and tricolour ‐ so there is no need to dye the end product. Sables, of course, come in varying shades so there is more scope to use this colour. Blue merles are more difficult because of the black marbling in them, or black patches. The black pieces are usually of a greasy texture and no good for spinning. A good blue looks really attractive whereas those with a greyish look come up dirty looking. As regards to the tricolour, one needs a really dense black coat to produce a good black wool or else it comes up looking like a dirty dark blue merle. 7 I must say that since spinning the sheltie hair I have learned a lot about texture of the coats of the three different colours. In order to obtain the correct ply for knitting one has to spin up two bobbins of wool and then ply these together. This will then knit up as a double knit. If one wants to crochet then you only need a single ply I would like to add, at this stage, that I never add any other textures to the spinning so the end product is purely sheltie hair. Anyone who takes up spinning needs to have patience at the beginning but it will become a most interesting, worthwhile and satisfying occupation – particularly in the long winter evenings. Some of the items that have been produced using spun Sheltie Fur Pauline Batten Jones. UK ‘Needlepoint’ and ‘Cross Stitch’ These are popular hobbies, which produce very realistic results. ‘Cross Stitch’ is a counted thread embroidery with the cross stitches being worked onto aida cloth – an open weave mesh with natural stiffness. ‘Needlepoint’ is also a counted thread embroidery worked mainly in tent stitch on an open weave canvas. A Cross Stitch embroidered Sheltie Puppy, produced by Marja Vepsäläinen who started working on her hobby six years ago in Finland. 8 Quilt Work and Appliqué Work Quilting and Appliqué using layers of different fabric and fillers, are cleverly used to produce throws, cushions and portraits like this by Sherry Lindsey in USA.
