You might remember that in my last post I mentioned making my sister some yarn out of the cat hair she’d collected from brushing her cats. I thought we didn’t have any pictures of it, but when Dean started showing me the pictures taken last weekend there were quite a few that he’d taken of it. These are the two that I liked.
Most of this came from the same cat, though with 5 of them and a dog around I’m sure there are bits of all of them in it.

That. Is. Awesome.
Did you spin it with a wheel or a drop spindle? Now I’m wondering if I should try my kitty; she’s all white and her fur is about the same length as the angora I have in my stash.

How difficult is it to spin cat hair? I have three cats, but only one of them is a long-hair…and he’s an orange tabby.

that’s either really awesome, or kinda gross…

Yeah, I know. I’m leaning towards awesome.
I keep trying to talk my sister into knitting the dog a sweater out of it. I’d pay to see the dog trying to figure out why he can’t get the cat smell to go away.
It’s evil, I know, but I love confusing the dog.

The yarn was surprisingly strong, the other kitty liked playing with it a lot

Cats seem to like things made out of animal hair. I have a hat with mohair and alpaca in it… wiggy hugs and grooms it

I spun it on a drop spindle. It’s remarkably easy. I didn’t even do anything with the fibres. They were straight off the brush.

It was easy to spin. Lots easier than the blue top that I’ve been learning with. You should try it!

I have a sweater made from mohair that Kitty likes to treat as his own. He usually comes around to investigate my sock yarns as well.

Woah, that’s pretty darn cool. Although, all I can think is if there was a piece of clothing made out of that yarn, I would be dying of allergies within seconds lol.
