Yes, they make nice things from sled dog fur; only problem is when it gets wet, it smells like wet dog!
I have collected some incredibly soft Fjord fur when old Bjarne sheds his belly fur, but haven't found anyone wanting to try spinning it into yarn. The last bag of it I had stored in the shed and the squirrels got into it and tore up the bag and stored mushrooms and spruce cones in it!
Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, where it will warm up to an incredible +15 today (If we are lucky!)
My favorite ski headband is made out of wool and sled dog yarn...from Alaska. The sled dog fur is incredibly soft and warm. Nothing else is like it, and certainly not a polar fleece headband. Gail
