I'm coming, Elizabeth, I'm coming.

Now, I've seen it all. The "Rapture" must be coming along any minute.

Am I on drugs or what? Somebody check the tap water.

Every time I turn around this place just gets stranger and stranger.

If you have wolf based dogs, dogs with an undercoat, they will be

And knitting sweaters (I've seen a book on this).

And I'm saving dog hair from a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to mix with
Alpaca to spin into yarn.

Farm1, that's quite a handle your dog has.

Yeah, but no longer than German Short Haired Pointer :-)) Dunno why breed
names get so long.

If you make a sweater from
the yarn,

Probably not - it'st ake too long to collect that mcuh - perhaps a hat or
scarf.

will it come with a sack of ashes?

:-)) Perhaps just a scourge?

All kidding aside, I'm glad to see people unplugging from the consumer
matrix. Do you spin and weave the hair yourself?

I'll spin it myself and perhaps knit or crochet it. I wouldn't weave it.

What do dog hair shirts
feel like or will this be for throw rugs?

The Cavalier King Charles has very, very fine soft hair - softer than corn
silk or baby hair.

Are there specific breeds for
weaving? (I presume that they should be long-hairs.)

Many breeds of dogs have ahir that can be can be used to spin. My neigbour
has a Marrema and I've promised to spin some of her dog's hair for her.
I've even heard of someone spinning hair from a cow (whcih would be really
hard to do) but then they complained that it was prickly - not at all
surprised by that.

Just one caution, paper is very, very carbon intense, so you should
also add an extra dose nitrogen-rich material to compensate. Lots of

I'd not make paper a main ingredient, but it's easy to keep on hand to
add a bit at a time. For instance, after that really rainy week when the
lawn had gotten away from you and you have an abundance of grass
clippings...

Thank you that gives me an idea of how to work with this resource.
I'd hate to waste it if I could use and benefit from it.
Now.. about teabags...?

Dog hair sweaters, when wet, smell like dog. Duh!


What if your dog has no nose?

I'm sure I heard this in Texas, but I can't place it

I used to know someone whose wife did indeed knit stuff from the
combings of their samoyeds. And, no, the items did not smell like
dogs.

Hell's bells, man, people make clothing from goat hair--pashmina, for
example.
