Came across some long haired polar fleece today and am very pleased with it. It has the elastic qualities of fleece, but the long haired fur look. It dyes well (either on a stove or in the washing machine) and is reasonably cheap. Anyone else here used it?

Hey James,

Do you have any pictures of the materials you are talking about?

Sure, will try and find out any details I can. I should make clear that whilst it is long haired polar fleece it is long for fleece bt comparativley short for fur. It does seem to loose a little of the sheen when dyed I've noticed.

I'll get some pics of the materials and of the puppet as soon as it's finished.

Best,

James
