Shaktipaw

This is Shaktipaw, probably the only toy poodle registered service dog. Shaktipaw's person, Theresa, claimed he made her laugh, and that was a great service.

As most poodles, Shaktipaw was pruned and groomed regularly, and Theresa gave me the trimmings. These are much harder to work with than brushed out hair. And of course, being small, Shaktipaw's hair is quite short. All of which led to my having to mix it with another fibre. Conveniently, I had a silver grey baby alpaca fleece sitting around and mixed the two. The result, displayed on the model, is attractive, light weight, and very warm.
