TISSAVEL is a wonderful synthetic!!! Very high quality and it makes the softest cuddliest bears!!!
For a US source try Edinburgh Imports and PreFurs.

Here are some bears PreFurs makes:

We had a long discussion on synthetics and Tissavel was the favorite and inspired many of us to give it a try!

id heard of it before and seen the prices but iv never used it before but when i saw that for £11.00 per meter i had to have some and it really is beautiful, im keeping my eye out for the white, i think trissavel do 2 different white faux's.
thanks daphne for the link to a previous discusion, iv had a nosey at the 1st page, ill check out the other three now then im off to bed-e-byes!!
nite nite! xxx
