Beautiful! 
You could try with polyvinilic glue. It would be hard but slightly flexible. I have used it to harden cat noses. It is slightly shiny, white when you apply it but dries transparent. You can dilute it with water so that it goes deep in the needle felting. You might give it a try on a needle felted ball, to see if you like the result without compromising your nose! 
The 85 mm mohair is slightly wavy. If you brush it you can get it quite straight, if you want to emphasize the curls you can put hair mousse on it, like you would do with your own hair!
The way it is priced is so: the prices are per centimeter, and you can buy in 5 cm increments. Meaning that you can buy 10-15-20-25 cm and so on. The fabric width is 140 cm. 1/4 is normally a piece of fabric 50x70 cm. Meaning that the same amount of fabric in 'pro-bear' would be a strip of 25cm (x 140 cm). Just beware that with a long and thin strip you might have more 'leftover' fur when you cut your pieces, because the space you will be placing them will be a narrow rectangle instead of a quasi square! I would suggest to order 30 cm, to be on the safe side!
The price for the 30 cm is 59.40 euros, plus shipping (if you don't live in Germany) it would cost 72.40 euros...I tried putting it in my basket to see the precise amount! As I said, not cheap....but very nice Schulte mohair!
Good luck with your quest!
I saw now that you wish to have a longer fur. They have 85 mm mohair. It is quite expensive, but wonderful. I also used it to make this puppy:

They have it in different colours.
Hello! Sorry if I 'butt' in....I have been reading your thread with great interest!
I might be wrong, but about the fur choice, have you tried 'pro bear'? They are based in Germany, have a wonderful choice of Mohair and alpaca fur, some sinthetics and they send samples. They are very helpful and efficient. The Pomeranian I saw on the picture has the exact colour of an alpaca fur they sell there that I have. Alpaca has a straight dense and fluffy appearence that might do the trick.

A wonderful article Peter, I really loved it! ...and it was also good exercise for my German language learning! Thank you!
Thank you Denise!
A very sweet and lovely one!
Denise, your panda is beautiful. You did a really great job!
Thank you so much Vicki!
How sweet! And I love his sweater!
Dolli, you can also use painting-shading to do the eye patches. This is the technique I use to do panda patches, or raccoon patches. I did a tutorial on my blog some time ago:

I now use watered down acrylics instead of pastels, you can use many different mediums.
Thank you dear Pink!
Thank you Thelma and Peter!
Peter, I have shipped him this morning. My shelf looks very empty now without him. 
I must hurry and finish my next project!
Thank you!
Please meet Mr Wigglesworth, a custom order just finished. He can't wait to go and meet his new mom, but I feel a bit sad to let him go, he is really so sweet! 
Thank you Sue!
