Helmbold 16mm Distressed, Mohair Fabric – Pale Yellow

Helmbold 16mm Distressed Mohair Fabric – Pale Yellow (Creamy Oatmeal) is a wonderful fabric for making teddy bears.

Pale Yellow is a gorgeous creamy oatmeal, beige coloured mohair fabric from Helmbold with 16mm,  distressed, medium dense pile.  The distressed pile gives it a slightly shaggy look, great for making vintage, traditional style teddy bears.  The backing is a darker, more yellow colour which gives a fabulous contrast when trimming back around the muzzle.

A good cotton thread match is Gutermann Sewing Thread 1120 and, for a stronger thread, try Gutermann Top Stitch shade 415

This mohair fabric is available in 1/16m, 1/8m and 1/4m pieces (the width of the roll is approximately 140cm including the selvedges and, therefore, 1/16th is approx 25cm deep x 35cm wide, 1/8th is approx 50cm deep x 35cm wide, a 1/4m will be approximately 50cm deep x 70cm wide and 1/2m will be approximately 100cm deep x 70cm wide).

Please note, although we try our best, it is very difficult to photograph an exact colour match of the mohair.
