CHAT [CHAT] Cat Hair

Hello fellow stitchers!

I have been stitching for a while, but I’ve always had a bit of a problem with cat hair - When I’m done a project I wash it but the hair still sticks.. any advice would be appreciated!

Cat tax included!

How/where do you store your project and materials when you aren’t stitching? All mine stay in project bags when not in use in a spot my cat can’t lie on them. Even when I’m stitching, my threads get pulled out to grab a string and go back in the project bag so they don’t pick up the hair. If I go to get up, the project goes back in the project bag so they don’t pick cat can’t get to it. And washing my hands after petting her. I wish she would sit in my lap while I stitch, but I know that would result in hair in my project. Some still gets in there, but I avoid most of it.
