Hi Sandy
I used to knit from dog hair (pyrs and rough collies),
but have more or less lost interest in it. I did knit a pair of gloves and
a sweater with pyr hair. The gloves I used a lot, but they really looked rather
strange as the hair was from two different pyrs and one glove was longhaired and
the other was 1/3 longhaired the rest shorthaired. They were very soft and
warm.
The sweater I don't use much. It is huge and very warm,
but it "sheds", so that there are even more pyr hair on me and
everywhere I sit than there use to be.
I always knit with two threads, one wool and one dog
hair, because i find dog hair alone is not strong enough.
I have a half finished sweater lying in a cupboard. It
has been there for years, I wonder if I will ever finish it.
