Pet hair getting stuck in bracelets: SOS

We have a number of pets, and try as we might, there's always fur around. When I go to make a bracelet, nine times out of ten, fur sticks to the thread. I do my best to keep it off but can never fully avoid it.

I always sit on my desk while knotting and my cats are never allowed there. That helps a lot! My own hair is more likely to get knotted in though ;-) |

Our pets are allowed everywhere, is part of the problem. I also have mobility issues, so I have to get set up just right with pillows and stuff. Or when I'm making bracelets with long strings (I don't like replacing when I can help it, I'd rather use long threads!) it drags on the floor. Maybe there's not much I can do about it, given my specific limitations/needs :/ |

I have a rabbit who used to have free run in the house- I find that when I get hair or fur stuck in it, I just pick it out as soon as I see it. I try not to knot the fur in, but I admit, once it's knotted in, it's hard to pick out. |

Maybe you could wind up the long threads into a ball (if you can keep it mostly in a ball). That way it's not dragging on the ground? |

Yeah, that's what I've been doing, putting the long threads into a ball, but they only stay in a ball so long, especially if I'm actually working. Trying to catch it before it gets knotted in is probably my best bet. I do have a pair of tweezers that's pretty good at getting it out after the fact, but sometimes it's just impossible.
