I have been spinning exotics for a while now...Just started some Black Bear, and I have Timber Wolf, Black-backed Jackal, Coyote, and Badger. :)I use it for macrame type necklaces and I use ALL of the hair, usually mixed with wool. The black bear is mixed with Jacob sheep's wool about 75/25.

The tall hats worn by Guards regiments in the British Army (and other armies) are called bearskins (frequently incorrectly called busbies) and while the hats for other ranks are made from fur from male bears, the officers' hats are made from fur from female bears, because it's softer. I think they use Canadian bear skins bought from licensed Inuit traders. It looks as if your husband will have to go out into the woods again.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045029232081633077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-79650891784265181362012-06-20T07:49:10.463-05:002012-06-20T07:49:10.463-05:00Color me impressed!

I am going to card that bear fur with some CVM and make a hat to send my cousin, I may even add some pink firestar to it just because. He's always sending me weird things he finds and asking me if I can spin it into something. I know he'll love the grizzly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05154818648977035511noreply@blogger.com
