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!
