Sunshine, my sister's MIL collects the hair trimmings of her dog and knits his winter coats out of them! I was fascinated, in a horrible sort of way. I don't exactly know why I find it sort of repulsive, since I am delighted to wear the spun and knitted coats of other animals with no odd feelings. (glances briefly and speculatively at sleeping cat, picks up sample hair from shirtsleeve)

LOL, I actually have a hat made from samoyed dog hair! Though I think it's combined with regular sheep wool. Problem with cat fur - or at least from my cats - is that it's too short to card/spin. I know several spinners/weavers though who use hair from dogs, goats and an of course sheep.

LOL, wondering if the goat hair is itchy. I can't wear mohair or wool next to my skin.
Hmmm...looks at border collie hair, speculates on selling it for a small profit. Dear dog will be shedding her winter coat soon. (Good thing I bought a special stripping comb for dogs with a double coat. It was well worth the $8.00USD.) Erk! Spring cleaning is coming soon, too! Sneeze!
