When my first kid was born, I planned to start preserving my navel fur to be able to knit him a sweater for his 18th birthday. I regret that I never got around to that. He’s 15 now and I don’t think 3 years will yield enough for a sweater. Socks, maybe, but I’d always see those as a symbol of my lack of perseverance.

No way! I've been collecting it for three years now, planning to create felt plushies with it brand name is Nabelfilz. Sadly during the pandemic the harvest was bad, since production requires fabric and friction and I wasn't wearing shirts or walking much.
