As photographed in sunny Oregon this morning (actually, it's raining again! Still raining...but I love the rain) The mohair you see is the mohair you will receive if you win this auction This AUCTION is for: 1 full ounce of PREMIUM MOHAIR for rooting reborns and one of a kind (OOAK) dolls Our mohair has been washed/dyed and well combed - another great offering from Singing Falls***********************Thank you all for viewing our auctions! We hope to serve the reborning community by offering high quality mohair for your artistic needs. Washed - dyed - combed and conditioned - the mohair is carefully shorn from healthy angora goats who live in the southern Cascade mountains of Oregon. We allow their pretty locks to grow an extra few inches each year because we specialize in doll hair fleeces. It is so rewarding for us to interact with the reborning and OOAK community; we love working with you to make sure your babies are picture perfect! Thank you, as always, for your kind comments - your wonderful bids.always,alexandra*********************** TYPE OF LOCK: OPEN LOCKS, smooth soft batch of mohair, very fine and nice!LENGTH OF LOCKS: My ruler says these are 9 inch locks DYES:DISCLAIMER ON DARK DYES: I take the greatest care to rinse - rinse and rinse yet again your darkly dyed mohair. The hottest cleanest water is used (this is after sudsing twice in hot water wash.) However, there might be some residual "bleeding" occur in your darkly dyed mohair. My understanding, from being in the business for many many years, is that my brand of conditioner that I use to comb mohair - mixed with your conditioner will SOMETIMES cause the dyes to bleed. There are easy ways to remedy this if you should experience bleeding dyes (it is NOT dirt, it is residual dye.)We who produce mohair for our dear dolly customers usually use acid dyes (which are the best for color fast dyes) on our mohair. Yes, I've already done most of the work for you - I have already rinsed your mohair at least three times in hot water (and washed in gentle soaps.) However, there is a slight possibility that your dark batch of mohair will still bleed. The darker the color, the more likely mohair will bleed. Though I do my best to watch that my rinse water sparkles cleanly after the last rinse, but again - when you spritz your mohair for its final combing with your brand of conditioner - it can cause the dye to slightly bleed. What should you do when you receive your package of dark mohair from me?**I suggest the following: ALWAYS test your darker colored mohairs with hot water (from the tap is fine) - hot, not boiling. TEST TO SEE IF IT BLEEDS. Grab a lock of mohair - put it under your hot water tap. If you see it running color under hot tap water, you know you must do something else before rooting your pretty doll's head. What is that? Take a lock from the batch and rinse it in hot tap water until it quits bleeding. Lay it on a paper towel. Do this ALL GENTLY so you don't lose the "combing" of the mohair (you don't want tangles!) Get another lock from the batch - rinse away and lay gentle on your paper towel. Now you have a line up of wet locks. You can root from wet locks, or wait until they dry and then root. But your problem is FIXED. No more bleeding to worry about! By the way, I do not use harsh chemicals in the processing of my mohair. Hot water and a vinegar mordant is all I use to set dyes. Believe me, if angora goats had DARK BROWN mohair on them, I, Alexandra, would shear those lovely fleeces and never dye another batch of mohair! I love natural best. But who can deny that a dark head of baby hair is gorgeous? So, I use plenty of dark dyes. Hoping we can work together to make your babies PERFECT, I remain your supplier of quality mohair - and hope... read more
