Mohair Teddy Bear Fabric – 20mm Whirl – Helmbold Gold Wheat

Mohair teddy bear fabric – 20mm whirl Gold Wheat is a wonderful German mohair fabric for making medium to large teddy bears and repairing vintage bears.  Gold Wheat is a subtle gold/yellow/wheat colour on a pale rust coloured backing 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 pale, soft rust colour which gives a pretty contrast if trimming back to the fabric around the muzzle area when making a bear!

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

A good cotton sewing thread match to this fabric is Gutermann 1136. and a good extra strong thread is Gutermann Top Stitch 893

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!).
