Members Randy Cornelius Posted December 4, 2007 Members Report Posted December 4, 2007 I have been asked to make a headstall with a brow band out of Black Angora. I don't want to buy a whole hide for just a small piece. If anyone has some that they would be willing to sell or trade for something I have please contact me. Thanks in advance.

HorsehairBraider Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) Hi Randy - I think what you really want is mohair which comes from the Angora goat. When people say "Angora" they are referring to the Angora rabbit and it's fiber. Anyway, I got a piece about 5" X 11 1/2" from a vendor on eBay - as I recall, it cost me about $12.00 with shipping. If you search under "doll hair" you will find tons of mohair, but not all will be what you need. You could also search under "mohair" but this will unfortunately call up all sorts of sweaters and coats. You will probably find what you need faster under "doll hair". I sure hope that is what you meant, and that you really did not mean the Angora rabbit...
