Dog hair everywhere? Perfect solution - Wear it!

Your dog is a constant source of emotional comfort, right?  And dog hair is a condiment in your home?  If you wear your dog hair on purpose, then having it all over you can be a source of physical comfort as well.  Soft, warm, enveloped in the love of your furry companion.  Here is the shawl that came from Nimmie.  Thanks Nim.

 

Pictured here - weaving up to the ends of the warp so there's no loom waste.  I untied these knots rather than cutting the piece off the loom, and then retied the knots up to the edge of the fabric..

Here's the edge of the shawl after twisting the fringes, before I washed it.  After fulling, the fabric is more textured and soft.  I'm thinking it will create its own halo with wear - get more fuzzy.

 

 

Here it is finished.  Cozy and pretty.  From dog to shawl!!   Voila!
