I had to ask at the counter - they didn't have it on display. It is not 'real' horsehair - it is made from a plastic, but I was assured it is the same thing.

I wonder if she'll post it. <br /><br />Jessica - I'm not sure if that was the issue. I deliberately used very similar fabric for the muslin as I've had that happen before too. Ah well.
