DOES IT SHRINK LIKE WOOL?

They only smell until the first washing. The smell is from the oils in the dog's skin, not the fiber itself. Once it's turned into yarn and washed it doesn't smell anymore. Although it will have a slight smell when wet, just like wool or any other animal fiber. I don't know about weaving, but for spinning Eskie hair is plenty long as long as it's brushed off the dog, and not cut. :o) --- On Mon, 10/5/09, Cindy Capen <[email protected]> wrote: From: Cindy Capen <[email protected]> Subject: [eskiepeople:11745] Re: FW: Would You Wear Clothing Made From Your Dog's Fur? To: "eskiepeople" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, October 5, 2009, 12:16 PM I have bags of Eskie hair with the thought of perhaps some scarves one day, but it's collected during grooming sessions. I talked to a weaver gal recently and asked if she weaves dog hair. She said she doesn't like to because it smells like wet dog if it gets wet. I think she also mentioned that the short fibers are a pain to work with. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Eskiepeople" group.
