Knit a Dog Hair Sweater
Spin Your Dog's Hair into Yarn
Does your dog shed buckets of fur or do you have to clip or shave
your pet's fur coat? Have you considered having the hair spun
into yarn and knitting a sweater for yourself? "Knitting with Dog Hair" by Kendall Crolius explains the whole process from harvesting the "fuzz” and spinning it into yarn. It included patterns for making sweaters, hats, scarves and accessories. The soft under coat makes the best yarn and can be used for knitting, crocheting or felting. A garment or accessory made from your dog's hair can be a beautiful and treasured keepsake. Why throw out oodles and oodles of dog hair every day when you can save it to make something knitted and lovely? What a wonderful way to recycle!
We can not only knit sweaters for ourselves with dog hair, we can knit and crochet sweaters, vests, coats and accessories for our best friend. Here are some of many great books that we recommend with directions and pattern for knitting and crocheting adorable and warm clothing for our pets. Short hair and hairless dogs need warm clothing during the winter months especially in cold climates. Be sure to measure your dog correctly so that Fido has a comfortable and warm sweater.
