Richeson Squirrel Watercolor Brushes

Yarka brushes are unique! For many years, Fine Quality Sable and Squirrel hair were unavailable because of the restrictions of the Cold War. The war is over and suddenly a fantastic source for natural hair is available. And, even better than that, a marvelous team of old world brush makers.

Each Yarka Kazan Squirrel brush is expertly hand-crafted. The hair is carefully selected, processed and prepared for the final stages of brush craft. The brush heads are hand-tied, glued, fitted to seamless ferrules, and then glued and crimped onto natural Russian birch wood handles. You will be amazed at the performance of these fantastic tools.
