Those ain’t bean bag chairs…..!

He was “itching” for new chairs.

Thor the inventor strikes again!

Well, ‘tis said that the dog is a domesticated wolf, and that’s a domesticated wolf, soooo….

The dog is a domesticated form of the gray wolf, but I can’t figure out what Thor is. Who would make chairs out of shed wolf fur? What’s next, side tables made from cat hair balls?

Actually, “chiengora” is called that because spun dog hair makes a yarn as soft and fluffy as angora (rabbit) fur. Bathe and comb your long-haired dog, pick out the stiff outer hair, save it in paper grocery sacks until you have about a pound of it, and you can send it off to get it hand-spun (or hand-spin it yourself). Irish setters make a really gorgeous sweater.

One of my cats would make a nice doormat with little prep needed.

Woooooofy

Furniture and hangover cure all in one package….

I often thought I could knit a new dog out of the fur combed out of our Belgian Shepherd/Husky mix.

My lab/chow mix sheds a new dog about every day. Be better to make slip covers to be stuffed though.

I have read about a woman knitting sweaters from the dog hair that the dog sheds. Nice and warm, but other dogs seem to follow her around.

Either that, or you could save the shedding hair and use it to stuff a pillow.

My Dog (BorderCollie - Black Lab mix) must be a distant relative of Wolf. Each time I brush/comb thru her hair I have a nice pile. After a couple of weekly brushings I think I have just about the same amount.

Between Woofie and Grog…

they’ll never have to buy chairs again…hee..

it’s “hair” apparent..
