Knit with Hand-Spun Yarn from Your Own Pet's Fur -- Pet Yarn Chic

Dog and cat fur can be hand-spun into beautiful yarns, particularly long-haired cat fur and the fluffy undercoat of a dog. So the next time you groom your pet, you might think about saving the fur.

As you gather and save your pet's shed or groomed fur, you join Pet Yarn Chic and set up your "fur collection account". You send them your collected pet hair, they hand-spin it into yarn, and mail the finished yarn back to you. You can then knit your own clothes and accessories or they will connect you with a skilled hand-knitter for custom-made items of your own design.
