Har haft besøg af en hundeven med sin puddel,

hun ville gerne have spundet hundens uld,

men det er kun dæk hår en puddel har,

så det kunne ikke bruges.

Altså det er den uld der bliver kæmmet af hunden, der kan spindes, og ikke det afklippet. 

I have had a visit from a doglover, who had a poodle.

She wanted me to spin the dogs wool, but poodles have only got fur not wool.

You see, it is only the wool that you brush off the dog, and not the fur that you cut off, that i can use to make yarn of.

Ulden opbevares bedst

 i papkasse-gammelt pudevår eller kartoffelsæk,

bare det ikke er plastik, ulden skal kunne "ånde",

derfor riv ulden fra hinanden

når i tager det af børste og kam,

så det ikke ligger og klumper.

På den måde kan ulden holde sig i flere år.

Der skal bruges ca 700 til 900 gram færdigt garn

til en trøje i str. medium.

Så der skal samle ca. 1000 gram, alt efter kvalitet.

Engelsk:

The best way to keep wool is to have it in a

paperbag or in an old pillow case, not plasticbags

because the wool can't "breath" in those.

When you have brushed or combed the wool of the dog,

then pull the wool from eachother, so that it won't

clot. This way the wool can last for many years.

Usually one needs about 700 to 900 grams of yarn to knit

a sweater in medium size.

So to be sure you have to gather around a 1000 grams, depending on the quality.

HUNDEULD !!

Noget hundeuld skal have "hjælpetråd "

(får/anden hunderace), man kan være ude for,

at sammen slags hunderace kan have uld

der arter sig anderledes end ens venners hunds uld. 

Some dog wool has to be twined with another tread of wool

(Sheep/another type of dog).

You can come across that the same kind of dog wool should be

handled, when spun, in two different ways.

 Hundeuld hvor der er talkum eller pudder i,

er meget dårlig at spinde.

Ligeledes dækhår - hår fra benene

Engelsk:

If there are talcum powder or powder in the dog wool it is difficult to work with and not good for spining.

Når garnet bliver spundet,

lægger fiberne sig ned.

Pels effekten kommer når

garnet strikkes og ved brug.

Engelsk:

When the yarn has been spun, the fibres will lay down. The furylike look will first appear when you knit of the yarn or by use
