The sweater is beautiful! Why would someone be grossed out by wearing this sweater but not one made from wool?

As a cat lover - what an excellent idea!
The sweater looks gorgeous.
There will be detractors - but no animal cruelty has happened and if PETA says there has - they can look for NO further donations from me!
Where on earth did the lady send the shed fur to to get it made into yarn?
What a precious way to recycle!

COOL CAT SWEATER...I LIKE THE IDEA..2 BAD I AM ALLERGIC.

What a wonderful way to keep your cats with you forever.

Wow! i was too slow. I've been telling my friend for years we should do this. Her one cat sheds soooo much. I think it's great,

Well I am hoping the next natural progression is catskin for gloves, coats etc. It will give some value to all the cats that people let roam the streets.

I have five cats and could get enough fur in ONE YEAR!!

You people have GOT to be kidding! I have 3 cats. They wash themselves with their tongues all the time. Their salvia stays on the fur. I for one would never wear a sweater made of my cats hair. I can only hope all of you were joking!

Wow.....I've missed the boat all these years! With 5 cats in the house I think I could be makin' a sweater a day! (besides, everywhere I go I feel I am covered in cat hair anyways). I would be happy to send anyone who wanted to try it, more cat hair!

Oh, I couldn't be in the same room with the sweater wearer as I am allergic. Lettie

I have a friend who used the fur of her dog -it was a fluffy white samoyed - and made a beautiful blanket from it. It was very soft and warm - like an angorian blanket! I've always wondered if I could make a blanket from my Blue Persian's fur, it would be like gray Angoria! Now I know how to turn it into yarn, I'll do it!

It's very simple to spin fibers into yarn. It can be done with a potato and a dowell. Although I don't believe every type of cat fur can be spun into a quality yarn. Short fur for instance. Nancy...have you never heard of washing a garment?

I am a tremendous animal lover and as long as the animal is not harmed in the making of the sweater, then I think it is just fine.

Couln't stand it. The smell----cats! Yuk! Lettie

I have several house cats so most of my clothing looks like it's made from cat hair already :) However, I have often joked about recycling my cats fur after I groom them. I think this is a wonderful and a very special keepsake.

i think its a great idea! as far as the saliva and the "smell" im sure that the raw yarn or finished sweater could be washed/dry cleaned in some manner. i own a beautiful long haired gray cat (ashiecat - lol) and would love to keep her memory this way... and to think that ive been throwing her brushed out fur away for soo long - lol

Please, if anyone knows details on where to send the fur let me know.

Thanks

This is a good idea, but not necessary a new one. I have been knitting for years and about 30 years ago I knew of a woman who kept all her poodles clippings and spun this into yarn. Made a beautiful sweater. Of course you have to wash and sterilise the product first.

Funny! Having cats - Great Idea. Thought of it before, just did not know how to convert the fur. People - you can WASH the sweater after it is made! The allergic component is their dander. That can be removed. My only concern is that this is always done in a humane nature. Always.
