Hair used on the 1978 hero/kirk,mohair or crepe?

And thanks to everyone who been chiming in,very helpful info here and I appreciate it

I asked him last year and he sold me a bunch of it.

Here’s this pic, you can see that the hair is shiny and glossy looking on the front, and the hair seems smooth…

Wait, is the pic showing a NAG rehauled by JC or the actual hero with Nick wearing it? I’m an idiot…

That’s a JC worn shot :slight_smile: possibly a NAG ND/MM if I’m not mistaken.

Jesus! Tricked me into thinking it was the actual Hero! That mask is pure beauty! :astonished:

Those sheep are all over the place here in Ireland. I’ll have to start knocking on some doors. lol

I use that ash blonde hair all the time. But I always have a bit of a prob getting the h2 color look for it.

I’ve tried rit dye with some success and failure. I use the dark brown and Tan, one full bottle of tan and half of dark brown.

I’ve tried dark brown and sunshine orange but it’s not come out well

This may not be authentic but has anyone tried using kanekalon? Its a synthetic fiber made in Japan and super cheap. I am about to refinish a TOTS Kirk with it, I’ll post pics. The only downside I’ve seen so far is it is very straight and may not curl up. Other than that I think I got a really good color. Should work great with misting black on top of it (already got a can of streaks n tips for it).

Well Scottish Blackface is going to be a tough one as it turns out the breed is mainly bred for meat.

A site that specialises in it: https://www.lifelongyarns.com/about-2

It’s considered ‘carpet wool’ quality and isn’t apparently in demand enough for it to be a commonly available specific fibre.

Don Post Studios probably just bought a whole lot of cheap processed fleece in bulk, and it happened to be that.

I think the best bet is to look for fibres of related breeds with similar characteristics in terms of thickness, length, lustre and crimp.
