Malamute/Jacob wool sweater

This sweater was created for a lovely woman named Kathy. Her malamute Buzz supplied us with over a pound of hair. The hair was blended with the wool from a jacob sheep. The resulting roving was then spun and plied to produce a sport weight yarn. This simple garter stitch sweater was knitted using two strands at the same time to achieve the required guage.
