Dryer lint? Huell Howser did a "Visiting With" program on Slater Barron a few years ago. She's a painter and sculptor and has done artwork with lots of different media including some fantastic work with lint.
I don't think you could spin with lint alone because the fibers are so short. You could probably mix it with a longer fiber like wool or core spin with it (spinning different types of fiber on a string, thread or yarn core). But it would likely not be a yarn that could take much handling or washing because the lint fibers would come loose.
@Roxyluv -- good advice. I'm working in wool right now and it's going to take quite some time to collect enough of Tallulah's hair to spin enough yarn for even a small project, anyway. Just something to look forward to. |
