Does the fleece go:


^
v this way...


...or....

<-> this way across the puppet head?


Anyone?

my guess is that the strech goes sideways across the head and the neck stretches upwards...

My understanding was always that the nap/stretchiness goes up an down---top to bottom. Not sideways. That gives you the elasticity you'll need to close the mouth--if it goes sideways, then you lose the amount of motion you can use.

Bork,

I agree with Fozzie and Puppet. The fleece should be used with the most stretch from top to bottom. That should give you the best coverage and the most ease in movement. Good Luck

Hope this helps!

Fleece and dye recipes

Many of my puppet customers use Rit dye and love the results. The dye recipes on their website should be quite good. I was not aware of any dye recipes on Aljo's website but they have a greater selection of colors. I would email them and ask for their help with it.
