So I placed a big alibaba order from Oumo and got myself all the 24mm knots I could ever want In mixed hair/bristle fans.
I've made six so far.
Two on the left are significantly softer than the rest. You can see how much they bloom compared to the others. Not certain at this point if it's less boar in them, a different 2 band, or just a little more room at the opening of the handles that let them bloom that big.
The one on the very right is for comparison it's an APLuxury 70/30 mixed 24mm fan I've had about a year.
Handles are three unknown maker vintage Butterscotches, an EverReady 750, a Modern Duke 1, A Vintage Simpson, and an Unknown vintage butterscotch.
Lofts are 44mm to 47mm.
