and they say merino wool does the best job. Their most interesting stuff is mixed media and their colors are absolutely stunning.

If you know any spinners, they'd probably like the dog hair. While it will felt, it's not nearly as good as wool.

My favorite sweater is wool and chow hair. 22 years later, it's still going strong.

I have to say it's making me think about going to Etsy and buy a bunch of batts for felting. I'd love to do a bag with fine wire inside the shoulder strap to piss thieves off.
