Steiff Schulte Hedgehog Mohair Fabric – 9mm
Steiff Schulte Hedgehog Mohair Fabric – 9mm is the perfect fabric for making toy hedgehogs (plus teddy bears and other soft toys too!).
Hedgehog mohair has ‘hedgehog prickles’ that are made from 9mm (approximately!) brown pile with a white tip. The pile has been ‘gelled’ to give a spikey effect and has been woven into a milk chocolate coloured backing.
The hedgehog mohair has been produced in Germany by the Steiff Schulte company.
A good cotton sewing thread match Soft Hedgehog is Gutermann Cotton Sewing Thread 1115. and a good extra strong thread is Gutermann Top Stitch 124
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, 1/32th is approx 25cm deep x 17cm wide, 1/16th is approx 25cm deep x 35cm wide, 1/8th is approx 50cm deep x 35cm wide and a 1/4m will be approximately 50cm deep x 70cm wide).
Please note, although we try our best, it is very difficult to photograph an exact colour match of the mohair.
