Question about spinning pet hair

I know it's odd, but please hear me out:

My wife has a Pomeranian who is almost 13 years old. The vet is saying he won't last many more years and I was wondering if I could spin his fur, especially his winter coat, and make a scarf or something so she will always have part of him because she's so attached and loves him so much.

Has anyone tried this and if so are there any tips or suggestions you have for me? Any help is appreciated. Thanks for helping or at least taking the time to read this.
