Working With Horsehair
Here are explanations for the most common methods of working horsehair.
.: Tail Extensions :.
Used to add length fullness or replacement hair to tails. Can be used knotted,
waxed, glued or braided.
.: Braiding :.
To prepare for braiding, several individual hairs are twisted together into a
pull or string. Working with 8-12 strings, the braider moves the outside hairs
in an established pattern, under and over the inside strands to create a design.
Each of these sets of strings forms square braids or strands that, when
completed, can be sewn together to create the finished product. Our hatbands are
referred to as 3, 5, or 7 strand. That is the number of square braid lengths
combined for the desired width.
.: Hitching :.
As with braiding, a string of horsehair is twisted to begin work. Possibly the
most time consuming of horsehair arts, hitching is a series of small knots done
around a core string over a dowel or inner support. By incorporating colors into
the work a hitcher can create patterns like diamonds or spirals. Many times, the
support is removed and the work is flattened in a press.
.: Weaving :.
Also called finger weaving or flat braid, a series of strings are used forming a
warp. When the outside strings are brought under and over they form the
woof of the weave. Using the same principles as loom work, finger weaving tends
to be flat and not tightly formed like the square braid. In this type of work
the entire width is woven as one piece. Though used with horsehair, this type of
braiding is more often seen in leather for belts and hatbands.
.: Twisting :.
Mainly used for making ropes to begin twisting, loose hair is spun into a
strand, much like wool. These strands are then twisted back upon themselves to
form ropes. When the rope is completed the short ends of the twisted hair stick
up and feel prickly. Spiral and checked patterns are often seen in this type of
work. Horsehair ropes are described by the finished diameter and the number of
strands.
.: Hair Work :.
A popular art of the 19th and early 20th centuries, elaborate jewelry was often
created from the hair of a loved one. Braiding tables along with tapestry style
bobbins and counterweights are carefully moved to create intricate braids, often
over slender wire forms. Hair work patterns use openwork, shape, and texture as
design elements to create watch chains, necklaces, bracelets, pins, and a
variety of charms.
