Animals with luxuriant undercoats, such as huskies and German shepherds, make for the softest, most beautiful yarn. I’m not the first person to knit with pet hair. I would love to see pet hair products become more mainstream. Dog yarn is much warmer than sheep’s wool and as easy to dye. Cat hair is silkier and more delicate, and develops a beautiful halo effect after it has been washed.
