And your yarn is going to let me finally move forward on this project … these are shibui tweed silk cloud paired with isager spinni, except for the pink, which is paired with your cardinal mountain laurel lace.

I came across this when I went looking for a link to a video. I had no idea the singers were The Pointer Sisters:

i hate that it’s making me feel better about my yarn buying habit.

if i don’t get fixated on something in particular i should be good for a year or two.

I often think I should write a “how-to” manual for myself. (body + brain). maybe someday!

This seems expensive to me and it’s a blend but maybe this?

The website lets you filter by weight. There’s a nice royal blue that shows up in the light wools but it’s actually heavy.

Also they get new deadstock in periodically, so worth checking back.

Designer Deadstock - Wool Blend Gabardine - Royal Blue
This wool gabardine suiting has a lovely drape and a defined twill weave. It is mostly opaque and would make great blazers, skirts, dresses, and trousers.

Also worth noting: for tricky cases, I think just having a positive reinforcement approach is not enough.

We worked with someone else before our current trainer, and she was pushing our girl to the limits of her comfort zone, and it made things worse.

I don’t want to presume you want advice and/or help.

But we have a reactive dog, and the trainer we are working with has a section in her website about finding trainers who use positive reinforcement.

I will post anyway in case someone else might find it useful.

It’s lovely! Do you mind sharing the pattern?

There are definitely trainers who would work on the agresssion without destroying his personality! (Both how to manage the agression, so you can do things like take him to the vet, and addressing the root causes.) But it might be hard to find someone nearby.
