2. In the early '70's, a friend from New Zealand's mom spun their dog's hair, and knitted my friend

a sweater. It felt very nice.

3. Lots of Americans spin yard from dog hair, as do many others. I

have 6 pillowcases full of Samoyed and American Eskimo hair that has been washed and combed. It's now ready to spin.

6. My ma had a Samoyed as a kiddo. 'Silver'. He was so intelligent, hear tell!

8. I've had 6 Sammies and 3 Eskies over 45 years. Eaten about a

hundred pounds of white dog hair. I attribute my longevity to it!

11. Holee smocks! 3 Great Ones? Hug them for me! 😍

My girl has fur but she's sleek. No shaping/clipping for the groomer. Yet, hair all over the place. I don't mind. She worth it all❣

15. Saw this Years Ago

had a friend who raised German Shepherds. She saved their hair and spun it into yarn. Because I was knitter, she showed me the yarn that she had spun, but never saw it knitted into anything. All I remember was that it was very soft.

16. My favorite and warmest sweater is made of wool and chow (dog) hair

It's not just in Italy and that sweater is 25 years old and still going strong.

17. What about cat hair? With 5 cats, I have an abundant supply

It would be nice to have a use for it
