I can offer you all-white natural pup tail yarn at 2 bucks a skein.

That’s a deal, come on. It’s only slightly used! [see tail below]

:D been a long time :D

pretty puppy – calendar material though?

2 berthaslave 01.21.08 at 7:07 pm

I think it’s calendar-worthy. It’s a nice dog face. Great POV shot!

3 happypiano 01.21.08 at 7:14 pm

wow… how does that little bundle of cuteness work? *stares*

4 snusnu 01.21.08 at 7:15 pm

Well, there are people who DO spin their dog hair into yarn…imagine what THAT sweater smells like wet.

5 MiKa Art 01.21.08 at 7:24 pm

How cute – I’ve just found this site and already addicted!!

6 Ginger's Cotton Socks 01.21.08 at 7:25 pm

The tail seriously looks like yarn! EEEEE!

7 Sharon Rose 01.21.08 at 7:44 pm

*muwahahahaha*

We spinners are taking over the world, even CO!

PS – I’m collecting Maine Coon roving from my beast. The ziplock is nearly full…

8 me-me-me 01.21.08 at 7:50 pm

Yup, I know someone that just got skeins of yarn spun from her Pomeranian that passed last year.
A little weird, but heartwarming at the same time.

Hmm, not so good for the dude next to you on the train that’s allergic to dogs… hehe. Knit him a tissue made from dandelions. ;D

Aaachoooo!! (I’m only kidding, y’all)

“Baybeh face,
you got the cutest little baybeh face!
There’s not another one can take your place, baybeh face.
My poor heart is thumping,
You’ve really started something!”

I wouldn’t mind this pommie as a screensaver.
Good to be back!

11 jenjen 01.21.08 at 8:27 pm

Oooh look at those little pink ear biscuits. nomnomnomnommm…

12 Holy Cuteness 01.21.08 at 8:27 pm

What kind of dog is that? He looks very soft… Cute…

13 me-me-me 01.21.08 at 8:40 pm

Ha, threecatnight, I thought I was the only one in the world OK, besides my husband) that sings to doggies :)

14 M. 01.21.08 at 9:00 pm

Heheh… someone forgot to cut off the dog hair before spinning it into yarn…

15 Seven Paws 01.21.08 at 9:01 pm

That puppeh’s fur is whiter than white!

16 Theo 01.21.08 at 9:04 pm

No no, M. — this is actually the RESULT. What you’re seeing is a washed, sheared, combed, spun, knitted, pre-shrunk, brushed, trimmed, buttoned, and ultimately re-animated craft project. The tail twist is a just sly bit of recursion.

;)

17 zeldapie 01.21.08 at 9:18 pm

Awwwww. This is a bebeh American Eskimo, is it not?

18 Kristen 01.21.08 at 9:45 pm

Looks like an Eskie to me! I am getting an Eskie puppy in March (the litter was just born), I am sooo excited.

19 taj 01.21.08 at 10:00 pm

For anyone who, like myself, didn’t believe you could actually make yarn out of pet hair, BEHOLD: http://www.vipfibers.com/index.html

20 trin 01.21.08 at 10:11 pm

Some of the latest Amigurumi artists are getting really really realistic aren’t they!

21 DoodleyDog 01.21.08 at 10:37 pm

Oooooh, a bebeh Eskie!

22 chacha 01.21.08 at 11:03 pm

But we really have to ask ourselves … is it live, or is it cotton candy?

23 Emily 01.21.08 at 11:13 pm

Cutest puppy EVAR!

24 catablob 01.21.08 at 11:31 pm

I used to know someone who combed, carded, spun and knitted her dogs hair.
She never came up with anything this good, however.

25 Christina 01.22.08 at 12:05 am

*ded*

This is one of the cutest, most perfect puppies I’ve ever seenomg!!!1!

26 cubbybutt 01.22.08 at 1:21 am

27 Momof2kitties 01.22.08 at 1:44 am

28 Daily Walrus 01.22.08 at 2:41 am

I look forward to seeing old yarn tail in 2009!

29 blair 01.22.08 at 3:17 am

30 Aubrey 01.22.08 at 3:41 am

Ra-pup-zel, Ra-pup-zel, let down your hair!

31 LisaHoneychan 01.22.08 at 4:23 am

This pup is totally adorable! The look on his/hers face is so earnest and sweet, I would spoil it rotten! Please tell me pup has tons of snuggles and love! I’d totally make yearn out of her fur, too! Imagine the cute scarf you could get!? Just….don’t ever get it wet, or YUCK…STINKY.

32 Madam X 01.22.08 at 4:45 am

Eskie’s don’t stink! I know – I have one: Her Royal Fluffiness Nina Von Spitzen-Hundchen, Princess of Puff’nPaws. Their fur is incredibly soft and fluffy, like a cloud made for snorgling…

33 chuy 01.22.08 at 5:54 am

That’s quite a name, Madam X. What do you call her for short?
Phyllis?

34 Subhangi 01.22.08 at 6:28 am

LOLing at the tail.

35 CheshireCat 01.22.08 at 7:10 am

Dat pup right dere has got total cloud-status, fo-sho.

36 Lee 01.22.08 at 12:52 pm

She’s like a big ball of cotton. I want to dip her in alcohol and rub her on my boo-boos.

37 Darsa 01.22.08 at 1:54 pm

How could anyone say no to those big, melty brown eyes? *buys a skein or two of puptail*

38 jen 01.22.08 at 3:52 pm

i can’t knit with such cute poochiness staringks at me like that!!!! squeeee!!!

39 BOISTEROUSBUNNY 01.22.08 at 3:55 pm

AAWWWWWW

My baby eskies looked just like this when young!! (OK minus the odd tail formation…) 80)

I want another! Eskies are SOOOO addicting!!

40 joliesmom 01.22.08 at 4:56 pm

For some reason that tail looks gross to me….

It really does.

41 liz 01.22.08 at 5:40 pm

’someone’ has been twirlin that puppeh tail on their finger….

42 Ginger's Cotton Socks 01.22.08 at 6:49 pm

She’s in a perfect white-fluffy tubuleh bodkin shape! Seriously! Like a pillow or sometin’!

43 missK 01.22.08 at 7:15 pm

I had an Eskie growing up and they shed like crazy. A lady came by and asked for us to collect hair from the brush so she could make mittens or something. It’s a lot of work to keep them looking so white but it’s worth it!!

44 chanpon 01.22.08 at 7:19 pm

Oh, the soft pinkness in the ears, against the pure white fur is just killing me! I feel the urge to reach my fingers out and rub them.

45 Staticgirl 01.22.08 at 7:32 pm

awwwww cuteness personified…

46 luvinmalssomuch 01.22.08 at 7:53 pm

Hey you my tail is not a twist tie put here for your entertainment. Now go to the store and buy your own yarn.

47 Kiragirl 01.22.08 at 9:11 pm

48 R. Moore 01.22.08 at 9:30 pm

I’ve been threatening to shave and spin animals since I took up spinning :P A nice wool/alpaca/cat blend sounds delicious!

49 John Mah 01.23.08 at 1:13 am

wow that dog is adorable !

50 Cirilia 01.23.08 at 1:10 pm

What an adorable rolag…*glances wheel-ward*

51 kitty dog bear 01.23.08 at 2:20 pm

Looks like a Spitz Klein [Mini Spitz] to me. I have one in a caramel blonde color. Cuteness incarnate. :)

52 BOISTEROUSBUNNY 01.23.08 at 2:35 pm

I have two eskies- one is a pure breed, and he never sheds. I mean never. It is less than the cat. The mixed one on the other hand sheds quite a bit. Alot has to do with diet and enough EFA’s (in reply to above comment on eskies shed alot.)
Love my fluffy barky cotton balls!

53 harleybabe6 02.06.08 at 4:05 pm

We have had two eskies, both minis. First one shed – we think he was ill for quite a while. Current eskie has never shed. Best companion in the world and looked just like the puppy pic when he was a baby. Yes, they are addicting.
