Dog Hair Sweaters - Epic or Ewww?
狗毛毛衣：是史无前例还是真恶心？

Who are you wearing? Oh, just a little something I knitted with stuff I found in my vacuum filter.
哇，你穿的衣服是谁设计的？哦，只是我自己用在吸尘器里发现的东西织出来的。

爱狗人士在行动

Crafty dog enthusiasts are peddling sweaters and scarves made from none other than bits of dog hair found on their floors, couch cushions, beds, clothing and wherever else dog hair has wafted about in their homes.
心灵手巧的爱狗人士正在叫卖他们用狗毛织出来的毛衣和围巾，他们把在家里的地板上、沙发垫上、床上、衣物上和其他可能的地方发现的狗毛收集起来织成毛衣。

Chiengora牌

“Chiengora”牌萨摩耶毛衣和牧羊犬帽子

According to the Wall Street Journal, a band of like-minded enthusiasts are doing everything they can to turn garments knitted of canine sheddings from a pet-owner's fetish into a fashion trend. Calling it "Chiengora," a kindler, gentler term than "DOG HAIR SWEATER", the term was built around the French word for dog (Chien) that also evokes the luxurious feel of angora.
据华尔街日报报道，现在有一批志趣相投的爱狗人士，他们在尽一切努力，让脱落狗毛编织成的衣服能从恋物怪癖变成为一股时尚潮流。他们给这种狗毛毛衣取名为Chiengora，听起来感觉似乎更有热情也更优雅。这个名字是基于法语词汇“Chien”（狗）而来的，词汇的另一部分“angora”（安哥拉羊毛）则会让人们产生奢华的感觉。

狗毛毛衣指南

 

Apparently this cottage industry was spurred by the publication of a how-to guide titled "Knitting With Dog Hair: Better a Sweater From a Dog You Know and Love Than From a Sheep You'll Never Meet."
很显然这种家庭手工业是受到了一本引导指南型书籍的启发，这本书书名为《狗毛编织毛衣：用你爱犬的毛好过用你素未谋面的羊身上的毛》。

狗毛毛衣工匠

Will I smell like wet dog if it rains?
不过要是下雨，我会不会闻起来跟淋湿的狗气味一样？

It have been reassured that these canine hair crafters wash the dog hair several times with a detergent before spinning it into yarn. Even when wet, a Golden Retriever scarf doesn't smell any more like dog than a typical wool sweater smells like sheep, according to the crafters.

狗毛毛衣工匠们再三确认说，他们在把狗毛纺成纱前会反复地用清洁剂清洗。就算是淋湿了，金毛猎犬围巾闻起来也不会有狗的气味，不会像典型的羊毛衫那样味道重。
