(54) Method of making fur-bearing strands


(57) The invention provides a method for making fur bearing strands from hides of fur bearing animals and a yarn from such strands suitable for producing a fur garment. The yam has low stretch characteristics by virtue of treatment of the hide portions used to make it. Strands (10) are made from hide portions (17) joined side by side at abutting longitudinal edges (18) and slit transversely of the joined portion. A yam (15) is made from the strands, which may be joined end to end, by longitudinally twisting them so that the fur is substantially about the exterior thereof.
