The best way to describe it is if you have a silk thread and try to break it, it's difficult to do so. Cotton thread is easier to break. |

I have found on my brookie who has a cotton coat it doesn't really break easy but matts very easy and thick and wooley...a modified silk in my opinion is more on the silk side but is considered mixed with a soft which comes from a cotton coat. In my opinion to get a soft coat it's more on the cotton side than silk and a modified silk coat is more on the silk side but thicker than a true silk coat hence more silk than soft but less silky feeling.
Think of what silk fabric feels like vs. a cotton fabric....then feel a cotton ball and feel the difference. This is the best description I can come up with to get a feel for the differences in texture. |
ok so then she has a cotton coat. LOL It never lays down flat. she was just about 2 inches long before i cut her down because of matting. i would brush her out after spraying with ice on ice, then part her hair. it would look ridiculous because it was just getting bigger and bigger down the sides of her body. then she'd shake and it'd all be standing back up. My friends thought she was fat, but then i shaved her down and they see she's as skinny as a stick
