I'm looking for spinners. Does anybody have an electric carding [View all]

machine? And what do you spin on? How did you learn to spin?
I have over 5 pounds of beautiful, washed, white Samoyed dog hair. I have had a lady price carding and spinning it into 2 ply yarn at $20 per ounce. I saved the hair from my dogs' undercoats for 30 years. I always wanted to learn to spin it and then knit it into scarves and hats and such. However, I think $1600 is a tad too expensive.
Has anyone worked with dog hair?
