I'm told it's Global Warming. The animals simply don't produce that hair anymore. The Manchurian is an attempt to get hair the closest to it.
Thats pretty much what Mark said, the two band super was hard to source and not always from the same supply, so you could have different knots depending where it was sourced.

Simpsons source the manchurian hair from a single place so the feel of the hair should be the same, well, as much as it can from an animal.
