Having read about this at the recommendation of my editor & the apparent contribution to him from someone here, I started to think that chiengora (dog wool) might be a good use for the excess during the warm months, especially when the lean seasons come. Sometimes, I wonder the Ainu, Orok, & Tonchi hadn’t used these in certain ceremonial clothes. After all, both use fishskin clothes along with other animal & plant materials (especially from the Karahto [Sakhalin] Ainu). Not to worry, this dog isn’t the only breed in which dog fur can be made into clothes without the need to kill. I would like to show a little more on chiengora soon for a little more depth on some of the other breeds usable for cloth materials for your next knitting & crocheting.
