The country mohair was offered by Edinburgh back in the ‘90s and was manufactured by Schulte so it is well made.  It was listed as C10 and the description made it clear that the backing had no sizing.  The pile is 5/8” & is sort of like string mohair in texture.  The only problem is how soft the backing is & how easily it ravels.

I look forward to trying these methods for stabilizing the backing.

It may be a while before I get back to you on how each process worked.  I had some serious health issues in the spring & wasn’t able to keep up with housework.  Then I retired & brought my toys home from school.   My house is a mess & I’m slowly clearing out, organizing, & preparing to get back to bears.  Since I purchased so much fur on ebay & etsy, much of it needs to be identified & labeled.  I was good about logging purchases into a database on my computer (& later on my iPad), but was not good about labeling it when it arrived.
