Horsehair is the long, coarse hair growing on the manes and tails of horses. Horsehair can be very stiff or very fine and flexible, mane hair is generally softer and shorter than tail hair. The texture of horsehair can be influenced by the breed and management of the horse, including natural conditions such as diet or climate.
The tassel (plural tassels) is a ball-shaped bunch of plaited hairs from which at one end protrudes a cord on which the tassel is hung, and which may have loose, dangling hairs at the other end. Tassels are often used as decoration on hat bands, key rings and zipper pulls. Every tassel includes a horse hair knot. Knots cover areas where items are sewn or glued. They are decorative as well as functional. The knot, sometimes called a button, also stops the braid from unraveling similar to a rubber band on a French braid.
Hitching is done with 10 to 11 horse tail hairs that are twisted together onto pulls. The pulls are knotted over a string using open or closed half hitches. This is where the name hitching comes from. As the knots are made the pattern works its way around the dowel in a continuous circle. The pattern is determined by open or closed hitches as well as adding and dropping pulls. Different colors can be added to make interesting patterns. This centuries-old art form is very time-intensive. Most hitched items can be identified by their variations of the diamond pattern which is usually completed in six rows or less. Each piece is individually hand crafted. There are no short cuts in hitching a fine quality item. Few people have knowledge of hitched horse hair, even fewer know how to hitch.
A Zipper Pull is a device allowing persons with limited function to fasten zippers on clothing. Add some fun to your clothes, purse, luggage, or any boring zipper. These pulls allow you to easily use the zipper by extending the length of the slider. The braided horse hair dangles from the attached metal lanyard spring clip so you can find and open or close your zipper in extreme conditions with ease. The zipper pull is great for those with arthritis, weakness, injury or other disability. The spring clip can be attached (and detached) in seconds onto any regular zipper lock with bare hands requiring no special tools or skills.
