Sometimes, people come into your life in unexpected ways. A few weeks ago, right after learning that we probably didn't have much time left with our sweet girl Ivory, I received an email from a gentleman wanting to have his dogs fur processed into yarn. I learned his dogs name was Ava, a precious Great Pyrenees dog. He didn't have very much fur collected, so we chatted back and forth about options on how to proceed with processing. That same day, minutes felt like hours for me, just waiting to hear any updates about Ivory, who was in special care with our vet at the time. After chatting with this gentleman for awhile, he mentioned at the end of our conversation that he wanted to do this yarn run as a special surprise for his wife as a keepsake because they had to take Ava to cross over rainbow bridge later that night.
Hearing that and knowing Ivory's situation, it hit me and I cried! Knowing how they must have felt... knowing how we felt at the time... thinking of Ivory...and knowing they trusted me with this special task. I needed to do this yarn run! Not only was this going to be a sentimental gift, but it provided a healing process for me while dealing with the loss of our girl. We both were saddened by loss in our family's, but through it, I was able to create something beautiful that can provide comfort to someone else and they were able to help me too! How special is that!?
So here is the final product. The Ava, merino, and alpaca yarn blend. Over 2000+ yards of joy, memories, and tail wags soon to be made into sweet keepsakes! Thank you for trusting us with this special project!
