funny-but other than the dryer sheets=none of you (what's next) items are new---my great-grandmother used soap slivers to mark when making clothes 100 years ago. most of the (new?) concepts are really old concepts that were ---tossed aside for 'new & improved' ways- by people who wanted to use more 'modern' ways to do things...the dryer sheets weren't available 'back in the day' but interfacing-a lot like them- were & was used---it just wasn't 'smelly'. so, if you want to know '''what's next''' read a little history...some tool from the Victorian age will probably be hitting the market as a new way. :)

I wouldn't say I'm allergic to our cats, but I certainly get itchy nose and watery eyes when I groom them, or vacuum their favorite places to sleep. I can't imagine turning their fur into yarn and knitting it. I'd be a sneezing mess!

Cat hair and dog hair - you mean those items AREN'T intended for use in surface design? And here all this time I thought that I was making such good use of found objects! LOL

I think the things you listed in the original post have been used for years and years. The soap marking thing probably for scores of years. New isn't always better.

I am thinking of using my Pomerainian's hair in a landscape quilt. Little balls of fur on a distant hill will be a herd of sheep
