Dogfur
& Wool
A special blend of fiber. Hand-Crafted in the Mountains of the Alaska Range. |
||||||||||||
A blended mix of 50% doghair and 50% Alaskan wool is hand spun on a tradional style spinning wheel into yarn. For a full spectrum of colors, Brenda hand dyes a portion using commercial grade dyes. This yarn is then hand knit into earbands and two different styles of hats. The earflap style hat is trimmed with muskrat, beaver or otter and lined with heavy weight quality polarfleece in the crown. The ties are braided leather with a cord lock. As a finishing touch, a braided tassel has a handmade 'bead' made from shed caribou antler. A quality hat worth the warmth. Worn on the Iditarod Trail by racers and volunteers, yet fancy enough for around town. A toque style hat is also available. Hand knit with the same blended yarn, this hat is partially lined with either quality polarfleece or Berber fleece which also trims the lower edge. A braided tassel with signature 'antler bead' also finishes this hat. |
