My Border Collie sheds enough to knit a whole new dog. There, obligatory

Have you tried carding, spinning and knitting from it? When I was college, a
friend of mine made a sweater from Alfie, her Old English Sheepdog and
unofficial scene shop mascot. It was soft and a nice grey, although it did smell
more than a little like Alfie the first few times it got wet.

I remember a book from the early 70's called _Knitting from Your Dog_, but
I can't find it right now. However, there's this one: _Knitting With Dog Hair:
Better A Sweater From A Dog You Know and Love Than From A Sheep
You'll Never Meet_ by Kendall Crolius,  ISBN: 0312152906.
