So some of the things I found out about Boarder Collie undercoat. It is very delicate & has little need to be carded. I tried on my drum carder which did not work at all! You can use hand cards if you like. I found that the up take on my scotch tension wheel was almost nothing & that it need a lot of twist put into what you are spinning. I also found that if I was not in a calm, pleasant mood that I could not spin it. If at all I was angry, anxious or upset that it was not the product to spin with. It needs your undivided attention, like Miss Molly I guess!!!
After washing it & knitting the swatch I found it a little fuzzy & very very soft. My next attempt at using the canine coat will be a Husky/Shepard mix named Stormy. I am also looking at trying a Standard Poodle & a Malamute hair!! Look for those post in the future!!
