Add human hair to the stuffing

Over on Permies.com, there's a person who decided to test using human hair as garden twine. She spins her own yarn anyway, so this wasn't too outlandish. But, she found that it lasted longer than store-bought garden twine, and the deer stayed away from it, even though it was used in the sweet corn patch!

After reading that, I started saving the hair that came out when I combed mine. I haven't spun it into twine yet though.

Interesting! When you do, I’ll cross-post your results to the Monthly Fiber Arts Thread! ;)

I hope you have a chance to visit Rainbow Fleece Farm in New Glarus sometime. We had a really fun day there learning about wool processing and carding and spinning yarn, etc.

Besides a milk cow, Beau won’t let me have sheep, either. He says, ‘Sheep are just LOOKING for a reason to die!’

You know, they CAN be eaten! Not ALL will be lost Sweetheart, LOL!

We may compromise on Angora Goats. He gets the weed control in the woods and pasture and I get the fur. :)
