A German woman has started a business making clothes for customers from the hair of their pet dogs.
Bettina Menkhoff, 50, from Stoetze in Germany makes scarves, gloves and other clothes and sells them over the internet at www.jolly-fellows.de.
She said: "I got the idea after I bought a pair of socks made from Bobtail-wool. I have four Beardie-Collies myself and started to yarn their hair. It only works when the hair is longer than four centimetres though.
"I regularly brush my dogs and keep the hair for processing. It's warmer than sheep wool."
She added: "The best business though is with customers who send me the hairs of their dog to make clothes for them."
