The Big Archie kit costs £85 plus postage, packing and insurance*, it makes a typical Barbara-Ann bear, with a sculpted face, eyelids and a different coloured tummy. This kit makes a bear about 15.5”/ 39cm tall. The kit includes the hand dyed mohair for the main colour, plus a smaller piece for the tummy and ear and tail backs. You'll have some mohair left over in case you make any mistakes.
Each kit is made from unique pieces of hand dyed mohair, together with matching paw pad material, beautiful hand painted eyes, eyelid material and nose threads. They come complete with patterns and full instructions, with diagrams for the trickier bits. You need to buy joints, sewing thread and strong button thread, bear making tools and stuffing material. As all the mohair is unique to each kit you will definitely be making your own one of a kind artist bear.
