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


And now, I have a a photograph of someone spinning with a sign:

Do not touch the spinning wheel!
I am spinning dog hair today.

At a more recent agricultural event, I mentioned that sign to the
woman who was demonstrating a spinning wheel (with conventional wool);
she said she wouldn't do that without a dust mask and probably even
goggles, since dog hair is very messy to work with and throws "doggy
dandruff" everywhere.

I see your "link" and raise you:

http://www.isn.net/~minimill/store/

When we visited the store we struck up a conversation with one of the
owners. A few minutes later a female employee entered the store. She
looked so much like the first woman I asked if they were related. She
responded:

"She only hires people who look like her. It does limit the pool of talent."

They are identical twins.
