Dog Hats Made Out of Dog Hair on Dogs

Of all the hippie things in this world, one of the few we can totally get behind is the Dog Hair Yarn Movement, a group of people who are looming and knitting delightful things out of puppy sheddings. I do wish they were not calling it "chiengora," a silly made-up word for dog yarn. (Still, this is a delightful sentence from that WSJ article: "Ms. Dodge also teaches a chiengora workshop at the Boulder yarn shop Shuttles, Spindles and Skeins.") You can definitely get your chiengora thrills on Etsy, including this dog hat for dogs made out of dog. And this one! (Also dog sweaters made of dogs on dogs.) I won't really be happy until there's a local lesbian artisan who can skin and cure cat gloves out of cats though. For other cats! Let's just do this!

NOW GET THIS! WE'LL FEED THE RATS TO THE CATS AND THE CATS TO THE RATS AND GET THE CAT SKINS FOR NOTHING!

If my dog wanted her excess hair back on her body, she wouldn't have shed it in the first place.

Sign #237 one's life has stalled: your dachshund is wearing a hat that makes him look like Ron Pallilo wearing elf ears, and not only do you not care, you knitted it for him out of some other dog's sheddings.

@City_Dater: The poor dachsund is thinking, "Is it my imagination or does this POS hat totally smell like wet husky?"

Pffffff, hats for the dogs, who despite all the shedding are still covered in fur? How does that benefit me, with my stratospheric kibble bills?! I want home chiensulation!
