Dog hair sweaters

[Sighthounds4me]

I stumbled upon a lady who wants to spin some hair for me...

Last summer, we went to a show in the central part of WI, and then to a concert by a favorite local band (at a state park). I was walking Manero, trying to get him to poop (he wouldn't). I was approached by the mother of one of the performers, who was very impressed with Manero. She was running her fingers through the hair on his shoulders, asking if I'd ever done fiber art with the boys. I said no, because I can't afford it. She said, "well I spin...I could do it for you!" So, we will be getting together this spring...

I have one of Corina's sweaters. It's awesome, but it has to be very cold before I can wear it. It's toasty warm!

I also have a winter hat made from my dogs' fur. Corina didn't make that one, another friend did. I love it, but again, it has to be very cold to get it out.

Annette, I'm glad you said that scarf only took a bread bag full to make. I started collecting fur in a gallon zip lock baggie. So I'm sure that would be enough..right?

For a scarf, most likely. The fur was 'smoohed' in the bag kind of tight. I know Corrina told me she added a bit of something else to the tassles on the end for strength.
