Does anyone know where to purchase the "no hair" mohair or extremely sparse mohair?  Thanks!

Hi Connie,

I did manage to find some really sparse stubbly mohair from when I asked about this a while ago, it was from a supplier over here at a show, but if I remember rightly Sonya said she got some for her scrummy bear, here's the link....  http://www.teddy-talk.com/viewtopic.php?id=10939

I'm actually going to use the BACK of some mohair for an upcoming idea, I'll let you know how I do!!   bear_shocked  bear_shocked  bear_original

I picked some up from Gerrys about 2 years ago. It wasnt what I was looking for though. I have seen one made up and it was brilliant. Each fibre was like a little knot. 
Has anyone seen no-hair mohair like that??

Hey Connie
Probar, one of the German suppliers has it.  I got a small amount a few years ago and love the stuff.  The bear below is a little 2.5"  one so the no hair looks a bit longer.

Here's a link to Probar's page

Hi Connie,  Edingburgh sells the No Mohair    (K03 5140) comes in two colours, light honey and one other colour.  I've been eyeing it as well as I think it would make a great naked bear heehee. 

big hugs

Yup...Im here...just saw your post. Sorry I havent been on much the last few days.

Yes, Edinburgh does sell it. It is K03...I like the honey colored one best because it is easier to dye then the darker one. I wish they would get white in again *sigh*

Good luck with your tattered ted

Bear Hugs,

Kim

this is the wee critter I have been working on for about six weeks. I'm still not happy with the way she is going. But as you can see she is made from a handdyed 'no hair mohair'.  I think she is about 4 inches .She is a 'gumnut pocket puddle' just incase this funny wee critter has you confused. bear_grin
