Try INTERCALS four-pack specials; you can find them in the Weekly Specials you receive in the mail (if you signed up for that list), or by clicking WEEKLY E-MAILER in the top colored menu bar.

They're VERY reasonable, and you get four different varieties of mohair, one fat quarter each, for a total of a full yard.

Even tho I'm a longtime mohair buyer I just got my first four-pack -- I guess they're "officially" called Pre-Packs -- a few weeks ago, and for the price and convenience and excitement, it can't be beat.

Have fun!

Do you have any mohair bears (that you collected)? It is sooo much easier to sew mohair than synhetic and to emboider the nose!!!
