Too bad to throw away?A young textile start-up from Berlin is now relying on dog wool and is asking dog owners for the combed-out tufts of fur.A dog's undercoat is an underexploited resource.The incredibly large number of fur mice next to the freshly groomed dog is sometimes really amazing, isn't it?In the meantime, everything is not always thrown away, but distributed in the garden so that birds can prepare the nest in the spring to be nice and cuddly, but the rest?Usually ends up in the bin.What a pity.The founders of YarnSustain Schönrock Uhl GmbH from Berlin thought the same thing and started a textile start-up for dog wool.Here they focus on sustainability and are against wasting resources.A network is currently being created as part of a crowdfunding campaign to save dog wool, or «Chiengora», from the rubbish bin and use it to make yarn.Fluffy scarves, hats and sweaters can then be knitted or crocheted from your own dog's fur.Clever!The website explains exactly how it works.Every dog ​​owner can and should collect the dog's dust bunnies and send them in free of charge.To ensure quality, about 20 percent alpaca hair is added to the yarn.Or you want yarn from your own dog, then send it in and order it as well.And because many apparently asked the founders: no, when the products get wet, you don't smell like a wet dog.
