Description from the creator

Here's a video of my process of spinning malamute hair (or chiengora) from fibre to yarn.
I was given a big bag of malamute fibre, all from one season's shedding. This was my first attempt at successfully spinning dog hair and I made this video to accompany my detailed blog post about how to spin dog hair.
