Spinning

"Thank you for the outstanding job you did spinning Mishka's fur. You worked the lighter fur in just perfect to make a beautiful skein. At this point, it is just being displayed in a small basket. I'm not sure I will ever make anything from it, but it will always be a wonderful memento of my girl." July, 2008
 

Betty, I have the yarn. It's amazing .... I am longing to make it up.  
 

Thank you so very much!  What fun.

Hi Betty.

The scarf has arrived safely. I could not be more delighted! It is beautiful. It is a work of art. The way the colors blend and contrast is ingenious. I love the white specks sprinkled throughout the weave. How did you do it? I am very pleased!
Thank you for your work and your creative input.
With love and respect.

The scarf you made is the perfect way to memorialize our pet. I thank you so much for the hard work you put into making other people's lives happier.

Every cold day will now be warmer.

Betty,

I just received my yarn! It is so beautiful! I am so excited to start a project with it. And thank you so much for sending instructions on washing it. I truly appreciate all your hard, but beautiful work. What a way to keep my dog close at hand whenever she is no longer in our lives.

Best regards,                                                                     Micki (February 5, 2007)

 

I just received the scarves, they are so beautiful. I cannot believe how they came out. Again, thanks so much, now we can have something to remember our sammy by.

My best friend of 17 years had just passed and I remembered that I had a plastic jar with some of her hair from past cuttings and grooming. I thought some day I would stuff a pillow with it, then someone told me that you could make yarn from groomed hair. The hair I had was short and somewhat dirty from years of sitting, and of course that dirty dog smell, but It was all I had left of my friend. I found Betty and told her my story, then sent her what looked like a large dirty fur ball. I did not expect much.

I could not believe my eyes when I received the most beautiful yarn I had ever seen. Betty had truly worked a miracle, and for that I will be grateful for the rest of my life. I am so glad I did not just stuff a pillow with it .Now I can look at a creation made from my beloved Cocker Spaniel's hair. I will miss you forever Chelsea. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you Betty.
God Bless,
Gina Strickland

 

We just received the weaving piece you made and we are all delighted with it, you do beautiful work.  Bless you and your talent for making this beautiful piece possible, I wish there was some way you could have signed it. 

 
 It was insured for $200, but to us it is priceless. 
 
Thank you again,
