I'm on the hunt for an alternate source of this fur. It's the flokati manufactured by Sommer's Plastics. I'm mainly searching for the black but the white would also be rad. I have a swatch and this stuff is /awesome/, it's SUPER soft and SUPER long but also has guard hairs interspersed. It's like a perfect hybrid of DF shag and Arctic Fox. It's really flat and 'stringy' without being gross, which is completely perfect for the character I'm making and I'd really love to get my hands on it.
They sell it on their site but- problem is I'm sort on a pretty tight budget at the moment and I only need like less than a half yard of the stuff, and their minimum order is 1 yard. And their shipping is kind of crazy expensive so that's kind of out of the question for now. I've been looking around a lot but I haven't been able to locate it anywhere else. :/ I know fursuitsupplies has something called 'flokati' but it says it's manufactured by Shannon Fabrics and the description doesn't seem right for it either.
If anyone's come across anything similar I'd greatly appreciate a nudge in the right direction. I really want to get this guy done before halloween and I'd rather not just settle for DF shag when I could use this stuff.
