Mohair Teddy Bear Fabric – Red Squirrel Steiff Schulte

Mohair teddy bear fabric – Red Squirrel from Steiff Schulte, has a 9mm sparse and is the great for making teddy bears and repairing vintage bears.

The 9mm, sparse pile is a glorious orange / rust colour with a matching backing.  The pile has been sparsely woven making it particularly good for making small bears and toys.  This mohair has been produced in Germany by the Steiff Schulte company.

A good shade match for cotton thread is Gutermann Cotton Sewing Thread in shade 4696 and a good shade match for an extra strong thread is Gutermann Extra Strong Thread is 124.

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, a 1/4m will be approximately 50cm deep x 70cm wide and 1/2m is 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.
