Mikhail Barishnikov is a very very very very famous ballerina.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Or just an article in the New York Times this
week that said, is he the last of the high
brow superstars?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Oh? Really? Yes?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
He was famous because he used to wear what he
would warm up. He would wear leggings or like like
like legwarmers made out of his dog's hair that were
knit for him using his dog's fur. And I think
back in the when what was the decade of Barishnikov?
Speaker 2 (01:04):

I can tell you any dog that has hair. I
got tits falker.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Seriously, it sounds like that.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
It is any kind of dog, And there was.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
They point out somebody who has a scarf made out
of Great Pyrenees, well, great and knees. They shed like crazy,
like crazy, so it may be easier to spin some
Great Pyrenees yarn.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
But if you have a dog and any hair comes
off it, Listen.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Both of my dogs have very very short hair, and
I would be the first one to tell you they
don't shed.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
But they do do Can I finish the sentence?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Even if they shod Diana seventies and eighties, Even if.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
They shed a little bit, it may take longer to
gather enough hair to spin into yarn. But you could
go to like I would bet if you called, if
you called a dog grooming place, I would bet there
are some people that knit that save their own dog.
It would be like put that in a bag. I'm
gonna spin it and then make like a if I
could walk around in a in my in my and oh.
(02:51):
One other thing, one other thing that I read it's
warmer than wool.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Oh really, well, that's nice.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
There was somebody who was on Mount Rainier and I
was reading about them. There was somebody who was on Mountaineer.
There was a whole group of them.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I may have the wrong mountain, but whatever, hey man,
but everybody was cold. It was an exceptionally cold night
and they were really cold. And it was also a
moist like there was a lot of moisture in the air,
and ice crystals were forming on all these people's like, like,
hats this guy and they were like, you don't have
(03:28):
any ice on yours, And he's like, I gotta be honest,
I'm not even that cold. Turns out they all had
wool hats. He had his dog's hat. Well, his dog's fur.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Hateah.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
And your dog doesn't have to be dead, so it's
not like you're like using dead dog. No.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
No, I don't want people to think.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
How much hair do you need to say? Nit a scarf.
How big are you just a normal sized scarf? How
much dog hair do you need?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I don't know. I've never knit.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
It's a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I bet it's not as much as you think it is.
You could use any dog's hair, doesn't matter. Why are
you just exchanging gifts this week? You just have to
have enough hair to spin it. Jackie has been collecting
dog hair all year for me. I have you your president.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Line too? Whoa, but this is what are you going?
I just.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Search a parishinal dog hair scarf and the first Etsy
store that popped up it says made with your cat
or dog hair.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh, Diane, I didn't know you could use cat. Yeah,
why wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Wool scarf knitted with your dog or cat hair? Good
pet lover, keepsake. It's two hundred and thirty nine dollars
for a scarf.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Not bad for your own cat scarf. You could have
a bobby scarf.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
What happens if it snows?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I just told you no.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You told me it kept them warm? What did that
things smell like after they got off mount Rainie?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oh, I don't know. What does a scar smell like
when you get off Mountainey?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
What does a dog smell like wet.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Dog smells like a like like butthole. But I bet
it's not that bad. Where am I going? Christ? In
line two? Hi, Elliet the morning?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Hey is this name?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Who's that?
Speaker 5 (05:23):
There's Jim?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Well? So I had a housemate who you know, we'd
sit on the couch watch TV at night and he
would knit a sweater with his dog's hair that he'd
collected over many years.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Are you serious?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I'm totally serious. And he made the yron, he spun
it or if that's the right word, yea, and yeah,
and I thought it was totally nuts.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Sorry, no, no, it's it's very it's very odd to hear. Hey,
did you ever see like, did you like when it's
yourn though you can't tell that it's dog dog like?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You would have no idea, right.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Not really, except it's not soft like regular yarn. It's
a little bit, a little bit coarse. This dog's hair
was probably three inches long.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
What kind of dog did he have?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You know?
Speaker 5 (06:16):
I never saw the dog, so not sure, but it
was he was dedicated to this thing. He took him
a long time to do this.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It's pretty cool. All right, very good, very good, Thank you, sir,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
What did the housemate have a dog or was he
just collecting random hair?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
No, no, it sounds like he said he never saw
the dog. Okay, well, maybe somebody else had the dog.
Maybe it's his family dog, and the mom would just
give him baggies of hair.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So this person on the Etsy shop requires four sandwich
sized zip log bags fully stuffed with brushed, not cut hair.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, you brush it out him.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I do see here too that they will wash the
oils out of the submissions. There goes your oil and grease. However,
if you're having it made because your pet has died
and you think the scent will give you comfort, they
will agree to not clean the hair.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Clean the hair, clean the hair.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Check out my shop pet hair to Knitwear.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
This one review says took it to bed and it
was the first undisturbed night's sleep I had had since
losing the pet.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Tom Okay, I could real quick. I don't I don't
want I don't. I don't want this to be.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I mean, eventually, your dog's gonna die or your cat's
gonna die, and then you have it but wouldn't it
be better to have it while they're alive? Like what
would be Could you imagine how comfortable the dog would
be sleeping on its own hair.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I mean they also make not only scars, but they'll
make like little miniature like stuffed animals of the catorazy that.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I don't like that, I don't like like that's m said.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
This little bear was made from our samoyadspur as a keepsake,
to have him close to our hearts forever.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I like the idea of a sweater. I like the
idea of a scarf.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Here's a pair of socks from Instagram. Lived in the
Soviet Union nineteen seventy nine, had a shelty. Our maid,
when we were done, presented us with a pair of
socks she had secretly knitted from our dog's hair. Now
do you want that? Or is that kind of weird?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I don't, I don't. I don't know how those what
would those socks coming out of the blue?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
That's a little weird.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Hi, I'm Lana makes socks out your dog?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
We made this from your dog? Where's the dog?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
That would be odd? That would be a little odd.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
On Etsy, there is a shop socks from dogs.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Is it Russian?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
It's one hundred and seventy five dollars? Tell you that
you see there they are.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That looks cozy? Yeah, ludes out a poodle cozy.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's not. Is this gonna wick moisture? Like your specialty?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What do you have?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
You have like some nice socks? They always promote what.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Are they called? I can't remember their names? Pardon me?
What are the names? Something wool smart wolf, smart wolf? No,
maybe it is maybe it.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Is surt around time for this is six to eight
weeks or the length of your tour in the Soviet.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Union line too. Hi Elliott in the morning. Hi, Hi,
who's this?
Speaker 7 (09:37):
This is last one?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yes? Leslie? Or do you do you knit?
Speaker 7 (09:42):
I knit, but I actually spin and I have top
spinning and I've done the dog here. And it's the
undercoat that you use because it's a medulated fiber, meaning
it's tubular, and that's what holds the heat.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Tubular. That's time.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
It's under a microscope. It's it's not tinked like regular wool,
and a lot of times it's blended with a little
bit of war another fiber to hold it because the
undercoat is very short.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You know, nobody knows what you're saying, right, But I
have some.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
It's pub shinori yarn.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Oh every year, I like when they set up at Tyson's.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
But yeah, it's very soft and it's extremely warm, but
it's it's blended a lot of times with another fiber
to hold it, to find it together because it's such
a short fiber.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Do a lot of people spin their own yarn?
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Oh yes, it's a big community.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
No it's not.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Oh yes it is.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That's not the answer I was expecting. What is that?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I would look like, how long? If I how much?
How much of my dog's hair do you need?
Speaker 7 (10:58):
We usually tell you to save it in a braw
paper bag. Is it needs to be aired out? And
then of course it's got to be washed before you
spend it till you can get the smell out.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh all right, but it.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Can go bad if you're keeping it in like a
plastic bag or something like that. You needed to air
out to keep it fresh.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Who do you where? And do you like? Do you
have anantsy like? How are you like? How are you
doing this for people?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
I had a dog groomer that would give me some
her poodle and I was blending with a little bit
of woom. I made yorn for her. And I used
to belong to a group of people that we called
ped hugs because we'd mixed scarfs and hats and stuff
with it. We don't do that anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I'm old, right, Hey, can I can I ask you something?
I mean this, I mean this in only the politest
of ways. Where where are you from?
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Tawnytown?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Like originally Tawnytown?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
But are you hearing an accent?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I'm hearing some quite crazy accent?
Speaker 6 (11:51):
I know.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And maybe it's because I got Russia on the brain.
You heard, Yeah, there was something going on there, not American.
All right, very good, very good. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Thank you, ma'am, thank you, you got it.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
No, I heard Carol County.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I wonder if that's like a side hustle for groomers
where they're like, yeah, I can I can sell you
some fur.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I will tell you this. If I took my dog
to the groomers and they were like, hey, on the
down low, I can make a sweater out of all
your dog's hair, I would think there's something wrong like
that would catch you off.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Guard, And what's in store for my flesh from instant.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Very good, very good.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Honestly, I'm still laughing at she. I will never tire
of those memes.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I'm sorry, say again another DM. It is Russian too, No,
but close. It is the sweetest yet creepiest gift you
can get our Russian dog sitter uh knit from our
elderly malamutes fur. I still have them, never wore the socks.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I'm still fuck the dog. Where am I going? Line three?
Hi elliot in the morning?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Is this me? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But a commercial for shake good.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
So I am a dog groomer and I had a
customer that comes to me weekly and takes on my
dog hare that is queened. I only give her queen
dog hair.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Are you serious?
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I am dead serious? And now I'm rethinking it. Should
I be paid for? Should I have a pay for this?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
They're making money? Do you make money?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
I should. It's called I have a clipper back and
it goes into my clipper back and then she comes
every Friday and she picks it up and she does
whatever she does with it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh you didn't even ask.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
I mean I know what she does. I mean she
spends what she spends it for crocheting or whatever. But
I didn't realize this is such a thing. And so
I'm listening to you guys.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Apparently, and I guess listen. I'm shocked. There is literally
every phone line.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I may as well have asked for people who grow
their own weed, Like every phone line is full. I
thought it was going to be like my grandmother did it,
or like I knew about it from way back when.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
But I had no idea that she's still going on.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
She's my age and I'm fifty.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
No, but she is clear she is coming to a
dog groomer to get the hair.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Yep that I think it's crazy, but I guess it's
a big thing now.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
So that's great, all right, very good, Thank you, ma'am,
thank you charge.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yes time, I have found from one of these shop
owners the request of a photo of the animal whose
hair I'm using so I can refer to it while working.
It helps me feel more connected.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And makes you a lot more creepy.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
So you wouldn't say, picture of your dog.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
I'm DAALSI, I'm just making a sweater out of your hair. Vesy,
let's add a little bit of clancy into that.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
That's weird.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Why do you have to Why do you have to
talk to the animal while you're just knitting its fur?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Hey, you want to use a different Etsy shop file.
But you clicked on me, probably through some targeted advertising.
You think your computer listens. Wait until you see what
you go? No, Hi, elliot in the morning?
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Hi is this me?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Use this?
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
This is Kim, Yes, Kim. What can I do for you?
Speaker 9 (15:41):
So my husband knits, and he actually will like he
got really invested in how yarn is made, and so
he would go to like petting zoods and pull the
wool from the goats and the sheep and put it
in his pocket and then use that to pre his
own yarn.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
So like, would he say anything to the people or
would they just wonder why is he pulling the hair
off of that?
Speaker 9 (16:09):
No, he would like buy the food so that he
could get into the petting zow part, and then he
would just be like, oh, look at this clump of
wool that's on the side of this lamb or the
sheep and just yank it off, put it in his
pocket and go home and go through the steps of
making the yarn.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
God And she wasn't referring to him as being in
the past.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
No, that's your current husband current.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
I have made the choice to stay with him forever.
And yes, And then our neighbors found out about this,
and they have Bunny, so they actually would get us
like base of bunny furst that he would then also
use to make yarn.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
And then that girl who moved in next door, you know,
the great big fat girl.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
He's making a suit out of her skin.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Like it doesn't very It's always a question of what
are you doing next?
Speaker 7 (17:01):
So stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Could you thank you, ma'am, thank you, thank you, and
God bless you. Right, there's an ass for every seat.
Lindsey comes home from taking the kids to the petting zoo. Yeah,
and she out of her pocket pulls out four handfuls
of goat hair and you're like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
She's like, oh, you know what. I took the kids
to the petting zoo.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I bought feed and then crawled around on the floor
to get some clumps.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Well, Elliott did say, more budget cuts are coming. I
guess we should get ahead of it.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
What are you watching?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
This person is spinning wool or not wool, but spinning
directly from the rabbit.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Oh my God, its like it's pulling its hair.

Mikhail Barishnikov is a very very very very famous ballerina.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Or just an article in the New York Times this
week that said, is he the last of the high
brow superstars?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Oh? Really? Yes?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
He was famous because he used to wear what he
would warm up. He would wear leggings or like like
like legwarmers made out of his dog's hair that were
knit for him using his dog's fur. And I think
back in the when what was the decade of Barishnikov?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Was he seventies?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
No, he's later than that.
Speaker 2 (01:08):

It is any kind of dog, And there was.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
They point out somebody who has a scarf made out
of Great Pyrenees, well, great and knees. They shed like crazy,
like crazy, so it may be easier to spin some
Great Pyrenees yarn.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
But if you have a dog and any hair comes
off it, Listen.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Both of my dogs have very very short hair, and
I would be the first one to tell you they
don't shed.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
But they do do Can I finish the sentence?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Even if they shod Diana seventies and eighties, Even if.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
They shed a little bit, it may take longer to
gather enough hair to spin into yarn. But you could
go to like I would bet if you called, if
you called a dog grooming place, I would bet there
are some people that knit that save their own dog.
It would be like put that in a bag. I'm
gonna spin it and then make like a if I
could walk around in a in my in my and oh.

One other thing, one other thing that I read it's
warmer than wool.

There was somebody who was on Mount Rainier and I
was reading about them. There was somebody who was on Mountaineer.
There was a whole group of them.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I may have the wrong mountain, but whatever, hey man,
but everybody was cold. It was an exceptionally cold night
and they were really cold. And it was also a
moist like there was a lot of moisture in the air,
and ice crystals were forming on all these people's like, like,
hats this guy and they were like, you don't have
(03:28):
any ice on yours, And he's like, I gotta be honest,
I'm not even that cold. Turns out they all had
wool hats. He had his dog's hat. Well, his dog's fur.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Hateah.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
And your dog doesn't have to be dead, so it's
not like you're like using dead dog. No.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
No, I don't want people to think.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
How much hair do you need to say? Nit a scarf.
How big are you just a normal sized scarf? How
much dog hair do you need?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I don't know. I've never knit.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
It's a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I bet it's not as much as you think it is.
You could use any dog's hair, doesn't matter. Why are
you just exchanging gifts this week? You just have to
have enough hair to spin it. Jackie has been collecting
dog hair all year for me. I have you your president.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Line too? Whoa, but this is what are you going?
I just.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Search a parishinal dog hair scarf and the first Etsy
store that popped up it says made with your cat
or dog hair.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh, Diane, I didn't know you could use cat. Yeah,
why wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Wool scarf knitted with your dog or cat hair? Good
pet lover, keepsake. It's two hundred and thirty nine dollars
for a scarf.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Not bad for your own cat scarf. You could have
a bobby scarf.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
What happens if it snows?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I just told you no.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You told me it kept them warm? What did that
things smell like after they got off mount Rainie?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oh, I don't know. What does a scar smell like
when you get off Mountainey?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
What does a dog smell like wet.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Dog smells like a like like butthole. But I bet
it's not that bad. Where am I going? Christ? In
line two? Hi, Elliet the morning?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Hey is this name?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Who's that?
Speaker 5 (05:23):
There's Jim?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Well? So I had a housemate who you know, we'd
sit on the couch watch TV at night and he
would knit a sweater with his dog's hair that he'd
collected over many years.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Are you serious?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I'm totally serious. And he made the yron, he spun
it or if that's the right word, yea, and yeah,
and I thought it was totally nuts.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Sorry, no, no, it's it's very it's very odd to hear. Hey,
did you ever see like, did you like when it's
yourn though you can't tell that it's dog dog like?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You would have no idea, right.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Not really, except it's not soft like regular yarn. It's
a little bit, a little bit coarse. This dog's hair
was probably three inches long.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
What kind of dog did he have?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You know?
Speaker 5 (06:16):
I never saw the dog, so not sure, but it
was he was dedicated to this thing. He took him
a long time to do this.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It's pretty cool. All right, very good, very good, Thank you, sir,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
What did the housemate have a dog or was he
just collecting random hair?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
No, no, it sounds like he said he never saw
the dog. Okay, well, maybe somebody else had the dog.
Maybe it's his family dog, and the mom would just
give him baggies of hair.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So this person on the Etsy shop requires four sandwich
sized zip log bags fully stuffed with brushed, not cut hair.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, you brush it out him.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I do see here too that they will wash the
oils out of the submissions. There goes your oil and grease. However,
if you're having it made because your pet has died
and you think the scent will give you comfort, they
will agree to not clean the hair.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Clean the hair, clean the hair.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Check out my shop pet hair to Knitwear.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
This one review says took it to bed and it
was the first undisturbed night's sleep I had had since
losing the pet.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Tom Okay, I could real quick. I don't I don't
want I don't. I don't want this to be.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I mean, eventually, your dog's gonna die or your cat's
gonna die, and then you have it but wouldn't it
be better to have it while they're alive? Like what
would be Could you imagine how comfortable the dog would
be sleeping on its own hair.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I mean they also make not only scars, but they'll
make like little miniature like stuffed animals of the catorazy that.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I don't like that, I don't like like that's m said.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
This little bear was made from our samoyadspur as a keepsake,
to have him close to our hearts forever.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I like the idea of a sweater. I like the
idea of a scarf.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Here's a pair of socks from Instagram. Lived in the
Soviet Union nineteen seventy nine, had a shelty. Our maid,
when we were done, presented us with a pair of
socks she had secretly knitted from our dog's hair. Now
do you want that? Or is that kind of weird?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I don't, I don't. I don't know how those what
would those socks coming out of the blue?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
That's a little weird.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Hi, I'm Lana makes socks out your dog?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
We made this from your dog? Where's the dog?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
That would be odd? That would be a little odd.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
On Etsy, there is a shop socks from dogs.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Is it Russian?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
It's one hundred and seventy five dollars? Tell you that
you see there they are.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That looks cozy? Yeah, ludes out a poodle cozy.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's not. Is this gonna wick moisture? Like your specialty?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What do you have?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
You have like some nice socks? They always promote what.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Are they called? I can't remember their names? Pardon me?
What are the names? Something wool smart wolf, smart wolf? No,
maybe it is maybe it.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Is surt around time for this is six to eight
weeks or the length of your tour in the Soviet.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Union line too. Hi Elliott in the morning. Hi, Hi,
who's this?
Speaker 7 (09:37):
This is last one?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yes? Leslie? Or do you do you knit?
Speaker 7 (09:42):
I knit, but I actually spin and I have top
spinning and I've done the dog here. And it's the
undercoat that you use because it's a medulated fiber, meaning
it's tubular, and that's what holds the heat.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Tubular. That's time.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
It's under a microscope. It's it's not tinked like regular wool,
and a lot of times it's blended with a little
bit of war another fiber to hold it because the
undercoat is very short.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You know, nobody knows what you're saying, right, But I
have some.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
It's pub shinori yarn.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Oh every year, I like when they set up at Tyson's.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
But yeah, it's very soft and it's extremely warm, but
it's it's blended a lot of times with another fiber
to hold it, to find it together because it's such
a short fiber.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Do a lot of people spin their own yarn?
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Oh yes, it's a big community.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
No it's not.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Oh yes it is.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That's not the answer I was expecting. What is that?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I would look like, how long? If I how much?
How much of my dog's hair do you need?
Speaker 7 (10:58):
We usually tell you to save it in a braw
paper bag. Is it needs to be aired out? And
then of course it's got to be washed before you
spend it till you can get the smell out.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh all right, but it.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Can go bad if you're keeping it in like a
plastic bag or something like that. You needed to air
out to keep it fresh.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Who do you where? And do you like? Do you
have anantsy like? How are you like? How are you
doing this for people?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
I had a dog groomer that would give me some
her poodle and I was blending with a little bit
of woom. I made yorn for her. And I used
to belong to a group of people that we called
ped hugs because we'd mixed scarfs and hats and stuff
with it. We don't do that anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I'm old, right, Hey, can I can I ask you something?
I mean this, I mean this in only the politest
of ways. Where where are you from?
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Tawnytown?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Like originally Tawnytown?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
But are you hearing an accent?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I'm hearing some quite crazy accent?
Speaker 6 (11:51):
I know.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And maybe it's because I got Russia on the brain.
You heard, Yeah, there was something going on there, not American.
All right, very good, very good. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Thank you, ma'am, thank you, you got it.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
No, I heard Carol County.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I wonder if that's like a side hustle for groomers
where they're like, yeah, I can I can sell you
some fur.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I will tell you this. If I took my dog
to the groomers and they were like, hey, on the
down low, I can make a sweater out of all
your dog's hair, I would think there's something wrong like
that would catch you off.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Guard, And what's in store for my flesh from instant.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Very good, very good.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Honestly, I'm still laughing at she. I will never tire
of those memes.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I'm sorry, say again another DM. It is Russian too, No,
but close. It is the sweetest yet creepiest gift you
can get our Russian dog sitter uh knit from our
elderly malamutes fur. I still have them, never wore the socks.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I'm still fuck the dog. Where am I going? Line three?
Hi elliot in the morning?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Is this me? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But a commercial for shake good.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
So I am a dog groomer and I had a
customer that comes to me weekly and takes on my
dog hare that is queened. I only give her queen
dog hair.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Are you serious?
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I am dead serious? And now I'm rethinking it. Should
I be paid for? Should I have a pay for this?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
They're making money? Do you make money?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
I should. It's called I have a clipper back and
it goes into my clipper back and then she comes
every Friday and she picks it up and she does
whatever she does with it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Oh you didn't even ask.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
I mean I know what she does. I mean she
spends what she spends it for crocheting or whatever. But
I didn't realize this is such a thing. And so
I'm listening to you guys.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Apparently, and I guess listen. I'm shocked. There is literally
every phone line.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I may as well have asked for people who grow
their own weed, Like every phone line is full. I
thought it was going to be like my grandmother did it,
or like I knew about it from way back when.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
But I had no idea that she's still going on.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
She's my age and I'm fifty.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
No, but she is clear she is coming to a
dog groomer to get the hair.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Yep that I think it's crazy, but I guess it's
a big thing now.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
So that's great, all right, very good, Thank you, ma'am,
thank you charge.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yes time, I have found from one of these shop
owners the request of a photo of the animal whose
hair I'm using so I can refer to it while working.
It helps me feel more connected.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And makes you a lot more creepy.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
So you wouldn't say, picture of your dog.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
I'm DAALSI, I'm just making a sweater out of your hair. Vesy,
let's add a little bit of clancy into that.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
That's weird.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Why do you have to Why do you have to
talk to the animal while you're just knitting its fur?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Hey, you want to use a different Etsy shop file.
But you clicked on me, probably through some targeted advertising.
You think your computer listens. Wait until you see what
you go? No, Hi, elliot in the morning?
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Hi is this me?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Use this?
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
This is Kim, Yes, Kim. What can I do for you?
Speaker 9 (15:41):
So my husband knits, and he actually will like he
got really invested in how yarn is made, and so
he would go to like petting zoods and pull the
wool from the goats and the sheep and put it
in his pocket and then use that to pre his
own yarn.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
So like, would he say anything to the people or
would they just wonder why is he pulling the hair
off of that?
Speaker 9 (16:09):
No, he would like buy the food so that he
could get into the petting zow part, and then he
would just be like, oh, look at this clump of
wool that's on the side of this lamb or the
sheep and just yank it off, put it in his
pocket and go home and go through the steps of
making the yarn.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
God And she wasn't referring to him as being in
the past.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
No, that's your current husband current.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
I have made the choice to stay with him forever.
And yes, And then our neighbors found out about this,
and they have Bunny, so they actually would get us
like base of bunny furst that he would then also
use to make yarn.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
And then that girl who moved in next door, you know,
the great big fat girl.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
He's making a suit out of her skin.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Like it doesn't very It's always a question of what
are you doing next?
Speaker 7 (17:01):
So stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Could you thank you, ma'am, thank you, thank you, and
God bless you. Right, there's an ass for every seat.
Lindsey comes home from taking the kids to the petting zoo. Yeah,
and she out of her pocket pulls out four handfuls
of goat hair and you're like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
She's like, oh, you know what. I took the kids
to the petting zoo.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I bought feed and then crawled around on the floor
to get some clumps.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Well, Elliott did say, more budget cuts are coming. I
guess we should get ahead of it.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
What are you watching?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
This person is spinning wool or not wool, but spinning
directly from the rabbit.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Oh my God, its like it's pulling its hair.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Yeah, eh, what is that now they're using clippers.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Does animal?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Oh it's cute.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
