Thanks for the photograph. I’ve enlarged it and I can I’m really see one kind of material in it that being rams wool, both natural and dyed red. I see a very few coarser hairs in it, dog?tie2fish wrote:
But I’m in the process of mixing some of my Rams wool with some red seal to see how close it is to the photograph and to your sample when I receive it.
Thank for your time in bothering to answer my questions And to the others that have participated in my quest.
