Sounds good :slight_smile:

For every mask I have done, I order a quantity of 4. That has been enough for me. That works out to a braided 4 foot section, but once you steam it, its almost 3 times that long.

I’d buy extra regardless. And crepe wool is awesome but it’s been confirmed the screen used mask used a mixture of camel with mohair more towards the hairline. I think the crepe looks better but just saying for accuracy

Hi yeah i know the original is a mixture of mohair and camel, but my luck with duying mohair has been terrible so far. :confused:

It’s definitely a learning process, I know how annoying it is. Did you order the crepe yet? I can find the link to a mohair I found that was nearly exact to the screen used. It was an off-brown but somebody in the group posted side by side shots and it was almost exact

Also camel is extremely easy to work with

I did, but you can always send me the link :slight_smile:

11

I’m gonna search the group for the link and photo comparison brotha! The crepe wool is still a great option I’ve seen JC overhaul a few copies with it

12

Sounds good buddy :slight_smile: If you find JCs photos of masks with creep wool, please post them as well :grinning:

13

Can you send me that info too my friend?

I’ve done a few masks using crepe wool but find the texture isn’t ideal for replicating a nice diffused look when messed up. It is relatively easy to mix colours by hand , I just find the end result falls short of other fibres. It looks and feels cheap. Preferable to mohair however, which isn’t great to work with.

I find camel the best overall. The following link is a great source for animal fibres in the UK, and reasonably priced. I can confirm their camel hair is a perfect colour for a H40 mask: https://www.winghamwoolwork.co.uk/camel-hair.html

See pics for camel hair in use.

Looks very good =) Camel is definitely a good choice.

17

The camel/mohair thing was something Chris Zephro stated. It’s now come out that the mask had crepe/mohair.

18

Do you have a link to this statement? I haven’t been as up-to-date as usual. I could see it being Crepe as well, but yeah Chris swore it was mohair

19

I PM’d you.
