The Horsehair market is a subset of the Animal Textiles industry, which encompasses the production of fabrics and other materials made from animal hair, fur, and hides. Horsehair is a particularly popular material for use in upholstery, clothing, and accessories, due to its strength and durability. It is also used in the production of brushes, fishing lines, and musical instruments. Horsehair is sourced from the manes and tails of horses, and is usually collected after the animal has been groomed. The hair is then sorted, cleaned, and treated before being spun into yarn or woven into fabric. The quality of the material depends on the breed of horse, the age of the animal, and the care taken during the collection and processing. The Horsehair market is highly competitive, with a range of suppliers offering different grades of material. Companies in the market include Horsehair Fabrics, Horsehair Depot, and Horsehair Unlimited. Show Less Read more
