that was really interesting. reminds me of the book "If Dogs Could Talk" (bad name for a book, but really good book)

At one time, when my Eski was still alive, I thought about this. I decided I didn't want to actually DO the spinning, but thought about doing the gathering and sending it to be spun by someone, then making something out of the yarn. Never did it though….sort of wish I had....he was so SOFT, and warm too...
