Just been reading about an elderly couple in Newcastle who kept the hair they gathered from grooming their now deceased pedigree dogs and had them made into jumpers. That is so icky

i thought it was lovely, respectful to their pets!

It is rather odd,not something I would do,but If I wanted to I could with the amount of Fur I collect daily from my Very Furry norwegian forest cat:-))lol

Very definitely, Lynda:)

Muffy have you had a change of policy? You said you wouldn't normally answer my threads the other night.

Don't be vile Rox - I *hate* animal fur except when it's on them:(

No Muffy, I ain't bothered - was just wondering why the turnaround.

lol Mac - methinks they should be arrested for breaching good taste

saw them on the northeast news tonight wearing them ...made me shiver

God that is horrible thought,,,,,,,,,,no certianly not,,,,,,,,,,but not far from me they have their----

Taxidermed Yorkie pooch in the window.,now that is spooky,,,,,,,,,,!

i added to this David, as i saw it on the news and was very intersted in the topic, i could see where the people were coming from,


I look at the post, not the person who posted, because that would be immature, to respond to a post we are intersted in shows intellectual interest,

I got an email once complete with picture....

It was about these 10 guys who when it was one of their birthdays they used to do something different on trips and always play tricks on one and other I cant remeber some of the things they did but this one..

They hired a fishing boat for the day. A little in too the trip they gave him cards to open and his birthday thing was to wear a false beard and tash....the day went on and after a few hours and beers more fun later the guy couldn't belive he had got off so lightly and make a comment to his friends about it. when they all dropped their trousers and he noticed that not one of them had any ***** hair left.......when he asked why they had done that.....they said " you have a real good think about your present!!!!!!

No need to apologise but I imagined you were more competent with language than to give such an impression in error, Muffy. We could probably do without the kisses though.

Me too Rose and I wish I hadn't looked!

That's just vile, Kay

Nice story, Hayley :s

But seriously, some Animals shed their coats and you can collect it , like wool:-))
you can weave it :-)) and then Knit it,not my Thing,but I surpose its very echo friendlylol
I dont mean actual Fur:-)

its very true i kid you not,,

its just looks alive that you expect it to bark,,, its been there few years ,,,,,and their son is a world renowned musician,,,,!!!

Hayley,,nice one,,,,,,its given me ideas,,,,,,,,,,!!

Kay, I've just told oh that when's he karked it I'm going to have him stuffed and sat in the window. I'm assured I'd notice a difference....

Rox, that sort of thing's ok though isn't it. But a poodle sweater???? Mind, I do wonder how many people know what animals the 'fake' fur on their coats comes from these days cos a lot of it is from dogs and cats abroad isn't it:((

Oh God!! dont get me started on fur,David!!:-((

The majority of fur trims classed as fake,is actually real cat/dog fur from China!
Its barbaric and if you had seen some of the videos I have seen you would vomit!

I can and never will understand anyone buying fur.
If people want fake fur they should make sure its from a good company,dont BUY CHEAP FAKES there probably cats and dogs.

I was in a second-hand bookshop a couple of years ago and found a book entitled 'Knitting from your Cat',(or Dog or Pet can't exactly remember the proper title).......

I couldn't believe my eyes!

But yes....it's true.You can,(apparently),knit from your pets fur!!

Wish I'd bought the book,although I don't like the sound of it myself!

It's that people don't know that bugs me Rox. I'm not anti fur really but it's the cruelty that can be involved I don't like.

Oh Sandra stop it already lol. I am cringeing!!

We used to save the brushed fur from our Keeshond dog in the 60s as there was a lady on the Isle of Wight who spinned (span?) it into wool. No, we didn't wear any of the results, lol! The poodle sweaters looked very practical but no marks on the sartorial front!
