living up to his name
Thanks to the long-delayed arrival of summer, Dusty is finally "blowing his coat." It's just like it sounds: his fuzzy, furry undercoat is coming off in chunks all over our house. My LSH brushed him tonight, and produced a much leaner Dusty (we're not starving him by any means, just turns out he was a good percentage fluff).
So much fluff, that my LSH also managed to produce a lhaso apso (small child included for scale). 
Although in my current panic mindset, I am thinking that I should have saved all that fluff and dyed it for my booth.
You threw it away??!!! When you could have spun it??!!! (LOL) I'm never tempted to spin dog hair--it's lovely and all but when it gets wet, well, you know what a wet dog smells like: The smell never goes away.
ReplyDeleteI have a whole brown bag of dog fluff from an Akita mix that I am spinning for $
ReplyDeleteNever spun such short fiber. It's not inch worm, spinning it's micro creep spinning.
Also. I'm not sure but I don't think you can sell dog hair. Look it up....hugs,
I saw mittens once that a lady had made out of her dogs fur. She said it works but it is brittle or some such thing?
ReplyDeleteCan you use for mulch?
