I cut out the pattern and I have no idea what happened to the fur but I now do not have enough for one part of my rabbit's ear. The inner ear will be wool felt with embroidery but I don't have enough to match the outer ear. Further problem is I cant get the fur any more that I have cut the rabbit out of. Does anyone have any suggestions so I don't have to start all over again and waste the fur I have already cut out? I have tried to look for something similar but as I can only order online I cant really be sure that the colour would be similar. So any suggestions as to how I can get out of this one?
Leanne, do you have two outer ears cut out? Or only one?
Hugs,
Gail
Only one, I swear I had marked out two
Leanne, what color is your rabbit? White?

Cream coloured mohair used.
Leanne, could you mail a swatch of the mohair to your mohair supplier and ask to purchase the closest match?
Hugs,
Gail
Do you know the style and color codes for the mohair? Maybe someone had a little piece that we can send to you.
Gail, yes I think that is what I will need to do.
Jane, unfortunately no, the fur I chose was amongst my stash so I don't know the code.
I have done this before, lost an ear where i was sure i had marked and cut it out. I had to go back and cut out another but found the original had fallen under the sofa! Do you think maybe it slipped somewhere?
Can you not do contrasting ears?
Ditto what Jenny said Contrast ears and maybe tail and /or paws in a different fur to give continuity.
