Years ago I researched and read 2 dogs of the world are able to be used in garments --meaning the hair doesn't smell when wet , also durable etc. I saved hair from my Samoyed dog for almost 6 years. Had it spun into yarn then I knit myself a shawl that I use a few times a yr. Usually on New Years eve with a dress. I had a book showing beautiful garments to make but the lady doing my spinning couldn't do more. I still have enough hair left it stuffs a
12 " square cushion. These both are washable and no animals ever pay any attention to me when I am around them.

Comment that the spinner suggested using Samoyed hair with others but I wanted it plain but apparently then it was harder to spin into yarn. Mine is very soft and an off -white color.
