You know what? I really like this. Every one wins here: the lady gets to do her hobby, the customer gets a keepsake, and most importantly the dog is happy and healthy
Why should that be dog abuse?? Dogs NEED to be combed, and some of them actually really like it! And the woman in the Video just makes good use of the fur that others just throw in the bin. Why the Heck should that be cruel?? Some people just need to be against anything!!!
It’s just the idea that comes with using the hair of something we are close to. Would you make a sweater out of your child’s hair, or your cat? No. It’s just negative stigma.
lol people who say it's dog abuse clearly know NOTHING about certain dog breeds. Some with incredibly long hair like a samoyed literally shed enough fur per day to make a hat. They need to have their hair maintained.
I don't understand why people are so disgusted by this. People wear cow skins, pig skins and all the above but when you put dog hair on its nasty? Logic please. Just think about the products we use everyday for beauty and whats in that. Think about the processed gunk in food.People use hair extensions, don't you find that disgusting? Putting others people dead skin cells on your head. They're much worst things like, Ears for a necklace. No pun intended.
Because dogs have been companions of humans since the beginning of the modern human. We have a special relationship with them, almost to the point of a sibling or child. Same with the cat. While cows, pigs, or chickens etc, have always been food or livestock to us. We don’t kill animals/being that we feel close to because of human nature.
obviously the people that are grossed out buy dog hair have never been around sheep or alpaca. a a maintained domestic dog is 20 times cleaner then your average sheep.
And the sad thing is that no-one wants wool anymore and I have been told by a farmer in 2017 (it's 2019 writing this)that the world that is sheared is thrown away, burnt ! Is that crazy. If you think this is weird, watch how acrylic yarn is made.
I started in this 20 years ago by spinning sheep wool to pass time at dog shows between rings. Breeders started giving me their 'pull' which is remnants from grooming extremely clean show dogs before they show. Next thing you know, breeders were sending me space bags in the mail, folks were tracing their feet on paper towels at dog shows so that I could make slippers for them! I still come home to find bags of Keeshond on my porch!
My sister has always wanted to make yarn out of one of our dogs fur. He's a husky mutt and his undercoat is very soft and fluffy. He also sheds ungodly amounts and needs brushed almost daily. This is a very creative and interesting way to use his fur (and even his brothers) to prevent the balls of hair from floating around the house. (My family has even started to call them Tribbles because of how fast they multiply.) I do plan on getting my sister this book eventually, at the very least to give her something to read and this video helps a lot in better explaining the process of preparing the fur for spinning. Though she has no idea how to spin yarn, she hungers for knowledge. I also wonder if it would be possible to dye fur to get more interesting colors, like red and greens for Christmas sweaters. Or blue for winter hats... Granted the color may wash out eventually... as even dyes can fade with time and washing.
I know that in the past people used to spin hair of many animal kinds and I heard that in cold places winter dogs with thick furcoats were used as herd dogs, hot-water bottles (they're were often kept inside the tents and huts due to radiating body warmth and people would often cuddle and even sleep with them) and their fur was made useful. wool was spinned out of their fur. this was an old practice of slavic and north asian tribes. so when I heard that I immediately googled it, I thought how could you possibly use dog fur?? Now I know how and I'm so surprised that people are still keeping this practice alive. That's so great!
We don't skin dogs in America but we can import dog skin clothes. It's awful really, but yarn clothes and skin clothes are very different so unfortunately no pelt lovers will switch to yarn, because it isn't at all similar. It's nice to wear the dog furr but know the dog wasn't hurt, actually they enjoyed it because they got brushed.
I love this idea and my grandmother would too. She’s had many huge dogs with lots and tons of hair, they always get groomed and there’s nothing to feel bad about here
I have a husky and they shed a lot! From the first time he blew his coat, I started to keep a box of hair. Recently I got a furminator and a rake to prepare for his springtime shed.
It’s common in east Europe and we’ve used dogs fur for centuries, it’s believed that socks or belts made from it can help with rheumatism and pain even with headache
Yes, you can knit with dog hair! My Bichon is 11 years old. I'm a knitter, and when she gets groomed, I collect the hair. When she dies, I'll knit something with her hair. Hopefully that won't be for a few more years!
I love this idea. I’ve been collecting my goldens fur for the last couple months and just ordered a carding and spinning machine. Can’t wait to make something!
Given the amount of dogs as pets and all the shedding they do all year round, it is nice to have "fur" company wherein they will buy all those sheddings and u get a certain amount for it. These shedding will be raw material for clothing etc. It is sustainable and everyone including pets are happy
Besides the fur will definitely keep you warm as opposed to sweaters made from synthetic fibers which are def produced with lots of carbon footprints and other nasty stuff
Thank you for your video, very happy, lighthearted and inspiring. I have been grooming dogs for going on 7 years professionally, and always wanted to know this stuff,,too bad I got rid of the hair I had collected for the gulf oil spill,,they didnt want it after all,,but yesterday I shaved 2 very long coated Labradoodles, and though you say one should only used the undercoat, I'm gonna try the whole fleece, it is very curly/wooly...gonna go see where to buy your book right now,,thanks again!! Steffie UPDATE! bought a spinning wheel, have made several things out of my own handmade chien wool,, dog wool is warm! lovely, fun, practical, my 3 favorite words!
i feel like this is great cus its using the hairs the dog loses anyway where wool you have to shave it all off and i love the point she made about it being something that ud normally vacuum up
I have 2 Golden's that are getting older & I have thought about this often. I think it's wonderful to be able to have something of them still with you after they pass on. I don't think it's cruel to brush your pet and utilise their hair but I would hate for it to become a mass production industry like wool. I refuse to wear wool or leather and have no issue in wearing my lets fur- it's usually all over me anyway! I will start brushing and collecting now. Thank you for the tutorial.
I think this is AWESOME! I would give anything to have a sweater from the hair of each of my beloved goldens (RIP). Do people realize that cashmere and angora come from GOATS! Cleaning the hair - I wonder if Dawn detergent would be a better cleaner. Seems like it would be better for removing the oils.
My Siberian Husky blows her coat twice a year ... I saved her hair from fall and got 2 garbage bagfuls! This is not including what I got from vacuum. I don't save that as it's mixed with house dust and mites...YUCK! I've had my wheel for about 26 years and this is my first pet. She is beautiful but sheds constantly when she's not in winter time. I was pondering spinning some of her fur (after carding) into cotton or wool poonies that I bought last year. Do you think I'll get the same effect by adding some here and there into the poonies as I spin? I've spun silk threads in...but that was during carding process.
Go for it! Try it and see. Punis work well for short fibres like cotton -- and dog fur. If you can make your dog fur into punis it should be a breeze to spin.
I love this!!! It's no stranger than wearing wool to me, and I wish I had learned of it before my beloved dogs passed on. And LOL @ "lube sweater" comment, now THAT would be something!!
I used to work at a dog salon, and we used to always joke about this. One day a lady really did ask to keep the hair so she could make something with it. *shudder*
only thing is that dog fur is very sensitive. When you wash it, you'll have dog hair on yourself. Sheep fur is much sturdier. I searched because my dog sheds a coat every week so I was curious if this works. I can tell it won't after looking at the clothes, they look really furry, like if you pull on it you'll remove dog hair easily. If you don't mind having dog hair on you I guess it's ok, but not for me. Drives me crazy when I get dog fur on my clothes. FYI, sheering sheep doesn't hurt. You experience this when you get a haircut lol.
"Wool has several qualities that distinguish it from hair or fur: it is crimped, it is elastic, and it grows in staples (clusters)." Source: wikipedia. A good reason not to wear any woolen sweater is because you'll get a strand of hair here and there always.
+Nora Schlegel Probably not as much as you think, considering she probably brushes her dog/s a lot to get the fur which in turn prevents it from building up on the floor. There would only be specific locations were it'd be more likely noticeable (Where she's brushing and where she's spinning) but she seems to have nice hardwood floors, just with area rugs, which makes clean up a LOT easier than all carpet.
These look like the golf sweaters from the Fresh Prince. Hahahahahaha - the one that Hilary bought Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv and then Kareem had a matching one lmao. This shit is funny.
whats wrong with dog hair? yall dont freak out when yall be wearing wolf coats that got shot and skinned. yet these are nice dog coats that are domesticated wolf versions and dont get abused & killed.
this looks pretty cool but yeah if I wore a sweater made of dog fur and someone asked me * whats your sweater made of * and I said dog fur I might have a fight on me hands
I think pet shelters should do this. There isn't enough funding from donations so why not make good use of what's free and use the profit to feed the pets.

thank you my mom has a bunch of expensive coats made of idk what animal then i show my mom this and she is completely disgusted
I would like to get a blanket made by dogs fur

i know but it's still gross
Yea I've been to farms and the sheep are often covered in their own shit.
@@taliakellegg5978
It's not gross if you treat it with chemicals.
I spun the fur from my beautiful Samoyeds and made scarves for the whole family
is dog fur soft to wear?
Omggg samoyeddd sheds like craaaazyyy
I'm jealous. I'm from India and we have nothing like this here but I would really like at least a hat or glove with my doggies fur
NOW THIS GIVES A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO THE TERM "BOXER SHORTS"!!!
Sounds itchy 😂

"What's it made out of?"
"Eyelashes!"
Was that a Sponge Bob reference?
It is just using dog's dead fur!!! Why some of people feel upset about this video?
Why do I suddenly want a dog fur hoodie?
Inspirations
Wool hoodie? That's hard to make, unless you're talking about replacing the inner fleece with dog fur
nice concept. better than someone killing an animal for its fur coat
Agree
No.
you should get a husky you would get ALOT more
Karol Escobar she should get a Samoyed, after two brushings once every day there will be a mountain.
It's nonstop
It's my most daunting evemy to date
I'll clean and then 4 min later it's all over my sink again
Try a Bouvier XD
I made a 1 inch piece of yarn from my Yorkie. When I showed it to him he was very confused
I know that in the past people used to spin hair of many animal kinds and I heard that in cold places winter dogs with thick furcoats were used as herd dogs, hot-water bottles (they're were often kept inside the tents and huts due to radiating body warmth and people would often cuddle and even sleep with them) and their fur was made useful. wool was spinned out of their fur. this was an old practice of slavic and north asian tribes. so when I heard that I immediately googled it, I thought how could you possibly use dog fur??

The dog is like, "Wait, why'd you stop, keep brushing me!"
I wish i knew about this back when scotty was alive 😭
😩😢
Hugs 😭💜
Better than actually skinning real animals alive!
True!
this isn't china we don't skin them alive
Tamahagane I've definitely seen videos of that

Lol, they enjoyed it instead
I have a husky and they shed a lot! From the first time he blew his coat, I started to keep a box of hair. Recently I got a furminator and a rake to prepare for his springtime shed.

I have two chow chows... their coat is awesome. Super soft, warm. I've collected their hair as well. Good stuff.
Is it weird the first thing I thought when I read "Dog Hair Sweaters" was, 'FINALLY!!'
That is absolutely awesome, for a real dog lover like me it's stunning !
Does the dog get a cut of the profits?
I'm sure my dog would love a blankie made out her fur
The dog gets a cut of the hair.
Ya more cuddles
Yes . Better food from income
He gets lots of treats and belly rubs hehehe
Genius. Doing this with my aussie and husky
We could save the world with dog yarn!
the dog is thinking "wtf are you doing to my hair?"
this is awesome, innovative, and environmental.
This is possibly the best video ever made by Vice.
Awesome!!! Thanks Kendall!
I knit a human hair sweater for my dog
haha..:DD
I think thats possible maibe go to the local barber and get the hair there :O
Did you use curly hair? 🙃🥳
Hahaha
I wonder if thats posible XD
This series is surprisingly very interesting. Not to say I thought it would suck, but it far exceeded my expectation for the topic. I like it :)

Can you tell us the first step?''.
''Well first we need to get a dog.''

this is the old school way of making clothes.
