Horsehair Braid

Also known as crin, horsehair braid is no longer made of horsehair but of polyester.
It is used for supporting other fabrics. Most typically it is used to support hemlines of dresses, particularly long dresses; by using horsehair braid the hems keep their shape and the skirt will hang better. These products can also be used to support fabric in other areas as well as for millinery. (Our web designer, who is a former milliner, adds that they make rather attractive hat trimmings when used on their own, particularly the white braids which can be used effectively on bridal headresses.)

We stock both tubular and flat crin and the flat comes in two weights, regular and stiff. The regular is suggested for light fabrics while the stiff is suggested for heavier fabrics and for stand-alone trims.

Note: as these are polyester they are not easily dyed.

Coloured and Metallic Horsehair Braid

Due to numerous requests we are now stocking some basic colours in tubular crin. Please let us know what other colours you may be interested in and we will considering broadening the range of colours.
