I want to buy some long pile mohair and I mean long, at least 8 cms. I have looked on Intacal's website but have come away baffled. I don't know if it is me but I was getting rather confused. Help I need guidence! Can anyone lead me to some of this mohair?
Hugs Jane.
Jane,
Intercal has several types of long mohair. They have a Kid mohair that is 1 1/2" long. There is also 910H that is 1 5/8" and 825B that is 1". I know there are others. I think I seen one that is 2"+ but I'm not sure of that. Also on Edinburgh they have a mohair that is 3" long. I hope this will help. You may be looking for something even longer, but I don't think I have seen anything longer than the 3".
BearCountry UK has got some... Don't know though if you'll find the colour you're after.
They don't have so much choice...
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Look on this website at Pro Bar, in Germany!
They have a few 85 mm long ones!
Beary hugs,

It's 3+ inches you are looking for if my conversion from cm to inches is corrrect.
SO...
Here is a 3" straight Sparse from Edinburgh: http://www.edinburghimports.com/shoppin … 812347R=42
And a 3" sparse antique curl: http://www.edinburghimports.com/shoppin … 812347R=40
These and a couple more can be accessed by clicking here: http://www.edinburghimports.com/shopping/FabricList.asp then you'll see them at the very top of the MOHAIR list, top of page.
Intercal does carry 2" length but it doesn't sound like that's long enough for you.
I've never seen anything longer than 3". Could be out there though!?! Because both Edinburgh and ProBear carry Schulte, you might want to check ProBear for colors if you don't see what you want on Edinburgh.
Here's an 85mm one from BearCountryUK....http://www.bearcountryuk.com/product_in … ts_id/4728
Have you tried Oakley Fabrics Jane.They do a really long 100mm in a few colours.

They have a white long that is 100mm long. so you could dye it. I know sometimes they don't always ave all their stock on the site so it maybe worth your while emailing them too.
Thanks everyone! I will be chasing up your leads today. I've made the pattern but now I need to get the
mo-fur, as my daughter calls it!
Thanks again for your help!
Hugs Jane.
Jane, I just made an anime bear. I used long pile mohair. It's 85 mm long and sooo soft.
