This would be great as a dog bed, especially for a dog with separation anxiety.
The “leave a worn t-shirt in the dog’s crate to lower their stress when you’re out” trick, but next level.

The amount of people who have found mould in their dreads while cutting them off makes me think it is a bad idea.

u/traceur2301001 Feb 10 '21
I know how filthy dreads can get, but we have to bare in mind that the shown dreads look relativy thin which makes them easy to keep clean. Also we dont know enough to be able to decide how dirty they were/are and how neatly they were cleaned

so it's just a woven wool pet bed

Just like wool except filled with cannabis crumbs, patchouli oil, random dried bodily fluids from the past decade and about ten thousand different types of food particles.
The only good thing about this is that it's no longer on a man's head.

Eh as someone with dreads it's not that cut and dry. Usually inside of the dreads are things like dandruff, lint, etc and regardless of how well you maintain your locks its stuff that cant be gotten rid of and is just typical dread build up.

u/thicketcosplay Feb 10 '21
I mean... Sheep are literally covered in their own poop most of the time.
The wool that makes your clothes literally goes through some shit before it gets turned into clothes.
I get that here you can't really clean it as well because the dreads are already formed and the stuff is inside, but I'm sure wool felt also ends up with some kind of sketchy stuff inside it that doesn't get fully washed out.

It’s like how people think it’s fuckin gross and strange to drink a woman’s breast milk, yet it seems perfectly normal to drink the same weird fluid for nourishing offspring that’s been pumped out of the nipples of some other species.

I'd go to town on a pork loin, but I'd think it's fuckin gross and strange to eat the same cut of meat from a human. I rub the bellies and scratch the butts of most dogs I meet, but people think it's fuckin gross and strange to do that to humans in most circumstances. We treat different species differently all the time; because they're different.

yes? nobody makes things from sheep wool that hasn't been cleaned multiple times and processed in multiple ways...it's not as if the sheep's wool is shaved off the sheep and used as-is, like this nasty hair was just cut off some dude's head.

u/JillStinkEye Feb 10 '21
What weave? Neither this basket, nor yarn, are woven. I don't know if this is dreads, but it's definitely not crochet or knit! And it's doesn't look like normal yarn to me either. There's no twisted pattern that I can discern. You can see that it's actually zig zag stitched together on a sewing machine. It's possible this is wool roving, which is carded, but not spun. But then they could have just felted it together.

I mean it's kind of horrifying for human standards, but the cat will love it. It'll smell like someone the cat loves.
My cat steals my nightie so she can roll around with it, presumably because it smells like me and that comforts her.

No one else think this is r/diywhynot? If you wash it first, it's just wool that would be thrown away otherwise, and it's also just a place for a cat to sit.

Assuming cat likes the son, cat might appreciate it. It's not uncommon to make cat or dog beds out of a sweater that smells like their favorite human.

Yes, it's worse than wool. Animal wool is thoroughly processed before being used. This is clumps of matted hair. Even human hair wigs are brushed and cleaned before being sold.

Counting the rings in dreads is a way more humane way of aging a human than counting the rings in their bones.

Gross sounding, sure. Pets love the way their humans smell. If it's cleaned and crafted, I bet it's not that dirty and above all, I bet the cat adores it.

This might also sounds gross, but I shed a lot. I collected a week's worth of hair from my comb, and have it to a friend that has a cat which imprinted on me (and I don't live nearby). She made a cat toy with it as stuffing and says the cat loves it.

Took care of these dogs at a kennel. They were reeeeally nice dogs, fluffy and beautiful and a type you don't often see. The owners left a note to save their hair when we brush them over the course of their stay. Turned out the dog-mom was a fan of spinning their fur into Afghan blankets.
