'''Chiengora''' is a [[yarn]] or [[wool]] spun from [[dog]] hair. The word is a [[portmanteau]] of "chien", the [[French language|French]] word for dog, and "[[angora wool|angora]]." It is up to 80% warmer than [[wool]] <ref> Choron, Sandra; Choron, Harry.

Often chiengora is blended with wool during the [[carding]] process. This blend has some give to it, which is preferable when [[knitting]]. It is also often blended with wool in order to create a yarn with less heat insulation. |

Spinning dog hair is not a new art form. Dog hair has been found in yarns dating back from pre-historic Scandinavia, and in textiles from the [[Navajo]] Indians of North America. It was the main fiber spun on the Northern American continent before the Spaniards introduced [[sheep]]. <ref name="thesis">Greer, J. Suzanne.
