On the topic of grooming (see yesterday's post), one enterprising woman has found a unique use for all that dog hair. Check out the web site www.petyarnchic.com for some interesting uses of dog fur. N'ann Harp has found a way to turn one person's dust bunnies into anothers blanket!
The company began when Harp herself was besieged by cat hair dust bunnies. She decided to collect them to see if then could be spun into wool. The technique is tricky but doable. And since then she has developed quite a loyal following.
Some people like to memorialize their pets by creating blankets out of their fur. Others just like the feel. Apparently golden retriever fur is very soft when spun into wool.
I'm not sure I'm ready to sleep under dog hair as well as being surrounded by it. For now, I'll just leave the hair for the birds to use in their nests. But you might be inclined to check it out.
