For artists and collectors sponsored by Intercal...your mohair supplier and Johnna's Mohair Store
Hi everyone hope you are all well
just a quick question, i hope this is the right place to post this?
ok first question where do you purchase really nice dense good quality Alpaca
and how is it sold ie as mohair/ alpaca mix or as complete alpaca ?
as i'm in the Uk i would prefer to purchase it over here but dont mind buying it from abroad.
hope someone can advise
thanks in advance

Most bear suppliers sell it so if you have a regular supplier of mohair ask them.
There were several suggestions recently, including at least one supplier in the UK: http://www.teddy-talk.com/viewtopic.php?id=37538

Hi Sophie,
You could try Bluemmel (in Germany). These people have a marvellous range of Schulte mohairs and alpacas.
This is the link to their online shop: http://s7988187.shoplite.de/2001/7988187/index.html
and this is the link to the main page of their website: http://www.baerenstuebchen.de/
The only downside would be that everything is in German
Another possibility is ProBear: http://www.probear.com/com/shop/pi-1050 … tegoryId=8 (this is the link to their webpage with alpacas). ProBear is also a Schulte dealer, but you may find that they have different mohairs and alpacas in stock (so all in all bigger choice for us bearmakers).
And another supplier of mohair and alpaca is Berelijn (in the Netherlands). This is their page with fabrics: http://www.berelijn.com/supplies%20pagina%201.htm
I usually use alpacas from Berelijn for my bears (not Schulte but Helmbold if I am right) and it works great.
Regards,
Marianne
