Who knew it would be so hard to identify a particular pelt that I have? I'm trying to match a pelt I've had for years that I used as a mock up for a project. I purchase more pelts, 2 kinds for comparison, only to learn that the original is definately NOT a Rex.
The orginal strip is black and I assume dyed because the skin is black as well. If it were natural color I would think the skin would be white (or darker gray). The fur has an undercoat, and is longer than the Rex. The rex was way to short and no undercoat, and seemed thiner, not dence like many descriptions state. I also bought a Domestic European Rabbit Pelt, and the length was right, about an inch, but again no thick undercoat.
The original I literally cut a snip off with scissors and barely had any fallout, a minor tuft or two. The skin is pretty thick, again in comparison and the hair length is about an inch, maybe a titch longer. The Rex & DER, I cut carefully with a blade so as to not cut the hair, it didn't matter how careful I was, but I can't use it anyway.
Sorry, I know this is long, and know more info would be elicited. Ive spent days looking for this pelt description to no avail. Does anyone know what kind of rabbit pelt I have? Or offer suggestions? I would really like to find more.
