"An everlasting keepsake of your special pet"

Thank you for visiting my site. I’m glad you stopped by to check out what I do.

Hi- I’m Roberta, owner of Fido’s Fiber. I am a spinner (make my own yarn), and enjoy many fiber arts (knitting, weaving, etc).
​

I spin all types of animal fiber but one of my specialities is creating one of a kind yarn from cherished pets, mainly dogs and cats. If you are interested in custom yarn from your pet, please see “the process page” for particulars. I can take the animals fur, spin into yarn and/or use the yarn to create a beautiful memorial item of your pet. Please contact me for any questions you might have.

I also make custom yarn from other animals as well so feel free to ask if you have a project in mind.  When the Farmer's Market season is finished, I will have items on the website for sale.  If you are interested in seeing something I've made, or any of the yarns I have, please send a message if you can't make it to one of the markets.  Maybe you'll find a yarn for a special project, or a garment you like.
  Thank you for checking out my website and seeing what I have to offer.

Please bring a sample of your dog or cat's fur for me to see if you want to have something made.
