My husband killed this large hairy leg spider, blushish color in the bathroom.
Anyone know what it was? Poisonous? We live in Southern North Carolina.
He said that you could see the hairs on it's legs without getting close to it.

I did google it first, before asking here, and nothing came up with those descriptions.
Not even close.

I think your spider was a Purse-web Spider.
Your lucky husband encountered a wandering male which probably had just shed its skin. It's not dangerous unless you have an allergy to spider bites.
If it were a Wolf Spider, it would probably not be any sort of blue. Wolf Spiders usually have extremely superior camouflage (Grey, Brown, Black) since they hunt above ground. Further, from the pictures I've seen, Wolf Spiders have much shorter leg hair.
The poisonous spiders such as the Black Widow and Brown Recluse are far smaller.

Gee that sounds like my father! Blue and hairy! Ha!
Seriously, it may be a gross "Wolf Spider" years ago we had a couple of them! Go to google type in spiders of North Carolina and it should come up with a few.
Good luck!
