HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT?
FINEST KOLINSKY SABLE
Dakota uses this to describe the Kolinsky sable that is the very best natural hair in the world for artist brushes. Particular regions of the world produce superior hair and specific hair from the animal (male winter tails) are used in the very finest brushes. Kolinsky sable has a very fine point, great color carrying capacity and the ability to moderate the release of liquid from the hair. The most important attribute is the strength and resilience to maintain its shape and to form and hold a perfect point. The use of the word kolinsky in labeling is not regulated and unfortunately it is used quite loosely in many brush descriptions.
