I'm not sure how to shape this thing exactly in 3d, but
basically it pulls the air and hair through a vortex (as far
as I
can imagine, no water this time) and then (or
immediately
with no two stages) spins the hair that was caught into a
thread, which is automatically wound up, so that you
wind up
with nice and useful thread.
Wash the the thread with organic bio-degradable
washing
machine soap and you can even sell it.
And if you have a few pets, or a spotted pet, you'll get a
colorful thread.

+1 knit into my cat coloured trousers! |

Not good for people with allergies, but I don't have pet allergies, so [+].
I do have a handsome, shiny black cat and last year bought a fake fur coat that I call my *cat coat*! |

Most pet hair will not spin well. Cat and straight haired dog are to smooth, and do not make a good thread. It is possible, but as a rule anyone spinning pet hair mixes in a percentage of wool or similar fiber. |

Also you would need to separate out the guard hairs, as they will make for uncomfortable thread/yarn. |

(finally winded should be wound) |

All suggestions accepted except separation - too complex. This is
about a simple low cost device. |

A dog bathing and barber site, might collect enough hair to make pads or dog mattress filler. |

But Thread that smells like wet dog just won't sell easily. |

At first I minded MechE's correction then I realized it wasn't
aimed at me so I should not have mound. |
