Kogitsunemaru - Kitazono Ryo

So the lord FOX’s fur can make yarn. No wonder he brushes it all day.

Chiengora is a yarn or wool spun from dog hair and it’s not the new thing in the world.

The word is a portmanteau of “chien”, the French word for dog, and “angora.” The best hairs for this application are from ‘Northern’ breeds, such as Newfoundlands, Chow Chows, Norwegian Elkhounds, Samoyed, ect.

It is up to 80% warmer than wool and is not elastic.Samoyed fur even soft and warm, like fur of rabbit or alpaca.Often chiengora is blended with wool during the carding process. This blend has some give to it, which is preferable when knitting. It is also often blended with wool in order to create a yarn with less heat insulation. In modern times it is rarely used. In general it is only used by hand spinners.
