The wool is soft and around 5 in (12 cm) long, and has a slight waiviness to it, is the only curly long-haired fur, making it popular for doll's hair. It can be hard to find a good supply.
Famous quotes containing the word fur:
“You may say a cat uses good grammar. Well, a cat does—but you let a cat get excited once; you let a cat get to pulling fur with another cat on a shed, nights, and you’ll hear grammar that will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant people think it’s the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain’t so; it’s the sickening grammar they use.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
