Spinning dog hair into yarn! Let me tell you a funny story.
Back in the mid '90s, I was on my way to Michigan to visit Bob's folks. A friend of mine who lived there did her own spinning, and having three Pyrenean Mountain Dogs at the time I told her I would bring her some hair. So I put the hair/wool in a bag with some other stuff for her and went to board the plane.
The security lady takes the bag and without even looking in it goes, "Okay, what's in here?"
"Uh, books, VHS tapes and dog hair."
"DOG HAIR???!!!!"
The woman dropped the bag on the floor and started shaking.
"No, it's okay, it's for spinning into yarn, it's clean!"
She looked at me as if she were about to be sick, and said, "I believe you, but get it out of here!"
