Lol all the comments here are like "gross" but its just hair

Maybe, iirc when my wife went off about this you need 3ish 2ish inches per fiber for something that doesn't pull apart when knitting without babying it.

edit: it'd be more like 2ish inches for someone specialized in in, maybe even 1 depending on how it's treated/used

Would the cuttings from haircuts be long enough to make yarn from?

I mean, wool is just the hair of different animals, so as long as they washed and disenfected it then it's not like it's all that...

Nope, can't finish that thought. I just can't do it.

nope nope nope nope nope NOPE

How about not doing that?

Eww

This sounds just like propaganda and/or feelgood fake news.

Sure, they'll send some rpi from a 11 yo to a comet, I'll believe it when I see it. Especially to make it cheap? It's not the computer that costs a lot to get to a friggin comet lol.

tbf, the headline is funny. If untrue, at least it makes great fiction

Bait used to be is believable
