[Sca-cooks] hair cloth

[Glenn Adrian]

Is this similar to the (horse) hair cloth ones buys now days?  Although the
range and quality of hair cloth seems to be in decline from what gather.  I
have bought the best I can find.

<<< I try to make minimal changes, but think "let them run through a hair
cloth" is clearer than "let them through a hair cloth run".  Or "and let
simmer until completely done" rather than "and let until completely done
simmer".  YMMV.

Yes, I agree.

As an aside, I understand what this "hair cloth" is from previous
discussions here. Has anyone actually tried to make one of these?  Out of
real hair? How coarse or fine were these? How coarse or fine was yours? 

I would love to add the A&S docs, or better, an article about this and what
the background on how these were used in the Florilegium. I have two metal
mesh things similar to what these sound like here at home. One is for
straining, the other I think is just to prevent grease splatters. I'm not
sure how either of these compares to these hair clothes though.

Thanks,
  Stefan
