How to wash loose stands of hair/fabric?

12 upvotes 1 comments
Not sure if this is the right community, but I figured knitters would have a good understanding (hopefully) of making yarn from fibers/hair.

I have been collecting my Huskys fur since she was born. just over 4 years now. I have emassed a huge collection of fur. the bag is currently just over 3lbs.

What is the best way to wash this? my intent is to stuff a pillow or two with her fur since it's so plush. I don't want to stick the whole thing in a clwasher/drying since it'll get everywhere and probably break the machine.


How does one successfully wash loose hairs/fabrics before creating yarn? I suspect this is the same process

Ty and here's a photo of the fur for your visual amusement

also, would this be something that knitters would want if I have extra? seems a shame just throwing this plush fabric out
