Mohair Teddy Bear Fabric – 12mm Sparse – Helmbold Blue on Tan

This 12mm sparse mohair teddy bear fabric, called Blue on Tan, from Helmbold is wonderful fabric for making teddy bears and other little characters.  The backing is bright tan colour and the pile is a 12mm, sparse, bright aqua blue colour.  The contrast between the pile and backing looks fabulous when trimming back around the muzzle.

This top quality German mohair fabric is particularly good for making smaller bears. as it has a sparse and short pile.

This mohair fabric is available in 1/16th, 1/8th and quarter metre pieces (the width of the roll is approximately 140cm including the selvedges and, therefore, 1/16th is approx 25cmx35cm, 1/8th is approx 35cmx50cm and a quarter metre will be approximately 50cmx70cm wide).

A good cotton sewing thread match to this fabric is Gutermann 4696. and a good extra strong thread is Gutermann Top Stitch 982

Please note, although we try our very best, it is very difficult to photograph an exact colour match of the mohair fabric (but we do sell 8cm x 8cm swatches that may help you decide!).
