Yarka's Pure Kazan Squirrel Watercolor Brushes CLASSIC MOP BRUSH - Set of 4 polybagged (#s 20612, 20614, 20616 & 20618)

Yarka™ brushes are unique! For many years, Fine Quality Sable and Squirrel hair were unavailable because of the restrictions caused by the "Cold War". The war is over and suddenly we have a fantastic source for natural hair. And, even better than that, a marvelous team of old world brush makers. Our Russin brush factory negotiates directly with the fur trappers in Siberia for first choice of the very best prized Kolinsky Sable and Kazan Squirrel. Each brush is expertly hand-crafted. The hair is carefully selected, processed and prepared for the final stages of brush craft. The brush heads are hand-tied, glued, fitted to seamless ferrules, and then glued and crimped on natural Russian birch wood handles. The artist will be amazed at the performance of these fantastic tools.

Classic
Mop Brush

If you're old enough, you will remember this brush from before World War II. Made of Pure Black Kazan Squirrel hair it has the shape of a large round brush when wet. Originally these brushes were made with quills of large sea birds for ferrules. Today we use plastic with wire to bind them. The brush is a real treat to use.

Short Wooden Handle. Only W/C.

Sizes: 2 (1/4"), 4 (1/2"), 6 (3/4") and 8 (1")
