I would like to make a bear with body and back of head looking like sheep and grey cashmere for legs and arms..

I cant see online any fabric that would make it feel like sheep.. (a bit like Hedgehog fabric.. )

Any suggestion or a pointer to the right website??

How about Sherpa Fur Fleece Fabric, they sell it on ebay or perhaps this?

Can't think of anything in the mohair range at the mo, but I'll get back to you if I do!

Probear has a nice shortbcurly white mohair I used to make a lamb that I thought looked good. Gerrys here in Australia also has a white wool fabric that would make a nice sheep. You don't say how large it's going to be so hard to know what length you're looking for.
    Feel guilty not mentioning our lovely hosts Intercal but I don't think they have anything 'sheepy', if you take a trip around the suppliers websites I'm sure you'll find some options

Hi Crystal,

Not the cheapest    fabric but looks real sheepy to me!

Whether or not it will suit your design depends on the size you plan to make it.
If I find similar mohair at European suppliers I'll post you on it.
