What do you people do with your dogs' fur, for those of you who are weird enough not to throw it away? I have saved all of Caper's huge tufts of undercoat in a box with the hopes of making some felted crafts out of it... Was thinking of making a scarf, but then I'd smell like wet dog if it rained outside.

I don't save it...but I've heard of a lot of people saving it and spinning it into yarn to make really warm gloves, hats etc. I never thought that you nights smell like wet dog in the rain/snow! Lol

Besides our dogs, I have just a bit of time to dabble in DIY audio equipment. The really fringe end of high end audiophiles often seem to confer the physical quality of the material components are made to their sound. Capacitors wound with silk of course sound better than those wound with paper, for example

So speaker cabinets usually use damping material inside them to break up resonances. Cheap speaker may use fiberglass, while better speakers use polyester batting. I think we could sell the idea of "Siberian Silk" damping material: washed and combed, available in standard grey or premium red!

XD no kidding I've got a bag saved, debating spinning it into yarn than making felted husky plushies

Love this! My hubby does some DIY audio equipment as well and has asked me to bring home polyester stuffing from the craft store on occasion. I'm going to tell him that Dizzy's shedding now has a purpose lol.

What color is Dizzy? Our Myka is unhappy I referred to her color as "standard grey". She thinks "Select Silver" would be a better name.

Cheers

Lol, I refer to him as "straight out of the husky factory grey" btw, are you a musician by any chance? My hubby and I are from CO and he's a professional musician. I thought with the audio reference earlier, it might be one of those small world moments.

You know, I feel bad every time I throw out his fur! I know people would love to have it but I don't really know who to give/sell it to. haha
