We were going to CL them or find someone with a boa constrictor, but maybe a little ratschmere cat-sweater is the way to go? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cashmere-made-from-rat-fur--yikes#post-1161095 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 16:40:51 +0000 Mo 1161095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But does it pill less? &nbsp;I kid, I kid . . .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cashmere-made-from-rat-fur--yikes#post-1161094 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 16:39:39 +0000 Catnip 1161094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yuck!&nbsp; No wonder it seems that the quality of cashmere has declined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cashmere-made-from-rat-fur--yikes#post-1161092 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 16:37:22 +0000 shiny 1161092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-26049100">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blog.....e-26049100</a> </p>
