Cangora

Cangora or DoggieDown is what some call the fluffy undercoat that is shed by certain dogs who have double coats for added insulation.

When I brush my Border Collie ( redhead called Connie), I often save the softest brushings and put a handful in a little net bag (off fruit) then wash with Fairy Liquid and leave it to dry.




I had built up enough to spin a fair amount of two-plied singles. I then went in search of a pattern that might suit this soft fuzzy yarn.

As it was next-to-delicate-skin type yarn, I looked for some type of neck warmer such as a cowl.
Low and behold, I found just the thing on Ravelry, Absolu Keyhole Cowl by Stephanie Steinhaus.
Her pattern on Ravelry:


The yarn even looks similar to Coagora

This is howdy Cangora version it looks:
With a broach:
With Corcks in the garden!



Feels Lovely.
