Any fur suggestions?

For my class project I am building a "Grinch" type character. Any suggestions for the fur? Want it as close as possible to the movie.
Thanks!

here's some you can get at K-mart:http://www.kmart.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=115849&N=0&Nty=1&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&Ntt=girl%20shag

the green fur is good, it looks like the grinch, as a matter of fact I'm going to build a grinch myself.

wow, i'm working on the same type project... are you going for live action style or the cartoon style???
anyway, i was going to browse either Joann or walmart for some white fur and fleece, then dye i all in one batch...
i'd like to see him when your done...
great suggestion on the fur too... that green looks awesome...

I'm doing a mixture of both type and adding a little of my own, I'm also making it vent style, so I can read the book and perform for the kids. I do the voice it neat I always love it.

Make sure the white fur and fleece you are going to dye will take the dye. Synthetic fibers don't dye well and most commonly available furs and fleeces are synthetic.

Aljo should work fine. For years I stayed away from dying fur, but Aljo works great.

Actually this is for a person not a puppet--I figured you guys were the most knowledgeable ones around about furs and hair. Have you guys ever made anything with real hair? Yak hair or other?
