I used to have a Sheltie who shed the most bountiful hair, all the time, but especially late in the summer, I suppose, because new hair was being grown for winter. I used to comb and brush piles of hair, and wondered how that could be used to make a fabric. How would you wash it? I'll watch the film, I was just wondering what kind of thread/hair they used for the felting.
