Ok great!  I know exactly what mohair you are talking about.  I have quite a bit of that myself.  The backing of my “country mohair” is quite stiff unless I boil it.

I often try to stitch up my pieces soon after cutting them out.  It helps with the raveling.  I will be using the C10 mohair in the Antique Style teddy bear class.

I am so sorry to hear about your health issues 🙁  I hope you are able to enjoy bear making very soon.
