Helmbold 20mm Whirl Mohair Fabric – Candy Floss
Helmbold 20mm Whirl Mohair Fabric – Candy Floss (candy floss pink!) is a wonderful German mohair fabric for making medium to large teddy bears. Candy Floss is a pretty pale, pink mohair fabric from Helmbold with 20mm medium dense pile. The pile has a gentle whirl running throughout the lie of the pile.
The backing is a a matching but slightly paler pink which gives a pretty contrast if trimming back to the fabric around the muzzle area when making a bear!
A good cotton sewing thread match to this fabric is Gutermann 2238. and a good extra strong thread is Gutermann Top Stitch 658
This mohair fabric is available in 1/16m, 1/8m, 1/4m and 1/2m 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
- 1/4m is approx 50cm deep x 70cm wide
- 1/2m will be approx 100cm deep x 70cm wide
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!).
