This blanket was made of 100% dog hair (australian shepherds). I asked volunteers from ARPH (Aussie rescue) if they could please send me the hair from dogs that were either in rescue awaiting a home or that had found forever homes. The response was amazing. I recieved hair from all across the US and even Canada. I spun the hair into 2ply yarn and knitted this blanket. The blanket was raffled at their National Breed show that year to raise money for rescue. There are 2 articles published in national magazines about this blanket. It appeared in Aussie Times, and Spin Off

Stacy, that it is just beautiful!
I love the fact that you donated it to raise money for a great cause. Do you have other blankets like that one? The Library Yarnballs should see and feel some of your work.
