    why Do People capitalize all The wrong Words? as far As i am concerned, my Coach can eliminate His own hair, although he is using Rogaine, so I think he actually Does not want to Eliminate it.

    I crochet (‘but I’m not batshit crazy’ I find myself saying after that admission these days) and 4 ounces is only going to work if it is poodle or afghan or other long-staple fiber.

    How the hell do you card black lab hair, and why am I asking this at this hour? (Because nine o’clock in the morning would be a better hour, because then the crazy people who live in the computer could answer back to me!)

    Bad grammar aside, she’s not the first one to do this. Lots of people have processed (washed, carded, spun into yarn, and then knit/crochet it into something) dog, cat and rabbit hair. There was even a woman on Dirty Jobs that made a sweater out of her own hair. It’s a lot of work, so she’s not making a killing on this when you factor in how long the entire process takes.

    The only crime I see here is grammar that makes me want to slam my head into a wall.

    Curiously, the seller seems to run a llama farm in upstate New York, so my guess is she “processes” your dog’s hair in a pipe and knits you some cheap ass llama cap, all for $80. The real question is, how high can you get smoking dog fur?

    Maybe my standards have fallen WAY low but I just like the fact that she has some talent. A lot of the stuff featured on here (not everything but most of it) is pretty talentless, effortless, crap. Animal hair is annoying and I would never consider it reusable so kudos to this artist for doing about the only thing you can do with it besides letting it clog your vacuum… it’s practical and looks good. That said, I wouldn’t pay $80 for ANY hat. Even this one.

    And I doubt the hat would smell any more than any other item of fur clothing – jus sayin. I think the idea of having to make it is more gross than the final product. Kinda like thinking of a cow butcher shop while you look at your steak. Steak’s still yummy for all you carnivores out there, don’t lie!

    “processing” dog hair is no different from “processing” sheep’s wool or angora goat fur; it’s an intensive washing, carding, and spinning.

    Although I confess to being a little surprised the first time I saw this–what’s really the difference since most folks have no problem wearing wool from a sheep? You don’t hear people ask “ewww does it smell like wet sheep? gross!!” FWIW wet sheep smell a lot worse than wet dogs, but once it’s “processed” the hair doesn’t smell much at…

    Lots of people spin dog hair… I’m told once it’s washed, it doesn’t smell any worse than wool (though wet wool still stinks.) But you can’t do it with just any type of dog. It has to be the undercoat of certain fluffy, double-coated breeds with relatively long staple lengths. She’s setting herself up for failure. I’m pretty sure poodles aren’t double coated, are they? Aren’t they supposed to not shed? Also, done right, it looks a lot like angora, not a beaver pelt.

    I’ve heard of people spinning dog hair, and depending on the dog it can work very well. I admit if I could spin OR knit, I would consider it because my collie grows an unbelievable amount of undercoat.

    Corn chips or the thong idea? I’m almost fond of the thong as long as there are no cornchip aromas. How much for a thong? It’s a lot smaller than a hat or gloves, $80 seems pretty steep…unless there’s rhinestones or something rad like that.

    Her grammar, spelling and presentation are horrible, but the object and price are quite reasonable. “Processing” involves washing, sorting, carding, possibly blending with other fibers, spinning, plying and then knitting. All of this takes a great deal of time and no small amount of skill, not to mention expenses for equipment.

    Don’t piss off knitters: we have lots of sharp, pointy things that make great weapons :D

    Ok, so my dog has the sort of hair that just spikes into everything. I can’t really collect it up. If I just send this person the contents of the kennel, maybe she can also “extract” it before “processing?”. Maybe I should just send the contents of my vaccuum cleaner bag and wear the entire family?
