Years ago someone wrote a book called 'knitting with dog hair'. There are some dogs who have long, beautiful, silky hair which can be spun (just like sheep's wool) into knittable yarn...most specifically the 'husky' type dogs:(Samoyeds, American Eskimos, etc.) I have an American Eskimo dog. Her fur is long and pure white and the combings when I brush her out, look just like the finest angora or cashmere 'yarn'. I've long thought how cool it would be (since I'm a knitter too) - to have a small scarf knit from her gorgeous fur...even if I just kept it with her framed photos as a memento of her. It always seems a shame to throw it out - and at times I've put out the combings in Spring for the birds to incorporate into their nests (they also fight over clothes lint from the dryer), and squirrels will rip strips from cardboard to build their nests. I wish I'd kept some fur from my beloved Eskie who passed away two years ago. For the record, these particular dogs NEVER get 'wet doggy odor', but always smell clean and fresh. One of my cats adores my dog,spending most of his time with his face nuzzled into her fur because she smells so good. Some people collect the combings, save enough to send off to spinners who card them into enough to make a ball or two of yarn - then incorporate them at the end of a scarf or sweater, or blend the yarn with another yarn - as a tangible reminder of their beloved pet. It could also be knitted into a cover for a small pet pillow/bed for a new puppy, as a far better comfort/transition for the pup away from its mother.

Reading the web site is reassuring. From French +/-: "the photographed women, with the exception of a man, are posing with their selfmade clothes made out of their dog's hair. The hair, and more specifically the "under-hair" [called 'bourre in French, dog people please help!!] is gathered after grooming and kept until the right quantity for knitting the cloth is obtained. A specialist person will put the hair in 50 grams [1.76 Oz] thread/yarn [?] and mail it back to the dog owner." I was like Gauldar, and expecting a dead dog fur memorial of some sort.
