I really liked your blog! It would be soooo helpful to me if you could find it in your heart to write an article about human hair extensions.

Wasn’t a hair shirt some Biblical reference?

a garment or undergarment made of animal hair (a hairshirt) used in some religious traditions to induce some degree of discomfort or pain as a sign of repentance and atonement.

Gag reflexes. I’m not a hair lover. Good idea for those who could stand it though!

Honestly, using human hair to weave just seems creepy to me.

Of course, I read way too much stuff about the Holocaust and WWII (the Nazis used to make haircloth from the hair of the Jews they were gassing in the camps.)

I’ll keep to wool, plastic bags and acrylic yarn.

In “Knit Lit” book 1, there was a story about a woman who took great pains to produce a sweater from her dog’s hair and ended up smelling so awful on the first misty day she wore it that she put the sweater in the garbage can … whereupon she got calls complaining about a dead animal smell in her trash cans. It just doesn’t sound like a good idea!
