I never expected to link to a video from Vice, but:

Materials: How to Make Yarn Out of Dog Hair - Core77

I realize this video might gross many of you out, but I am fascinated by people who view waste as a raw material. As the owner of two dogs I’m constantly dealing with shedding, and the thought that their cast-off fur could actually be turned into something useful is alluring.

A Connecticut-based needleworker named Kendall Crolius, author of Knitting With Dog Hair, shows how she can turn dog fur into hypoallergenic yarn.

FWIW, I don’t think there’s anything here to be “grossed out” about. 

And I’d love to see someone do something with this for the Uncollection!
