English translation:They are able to hold a large quantity of paint
Explanation:
The meaning here is that good bristles will be able to "contain" (含む) a lot of paint in between individual hairs.
As 含み generally refers to a quantity, the implication is different from point two (they are able to hold the paint well, without dripping).
Hope the explanation is clear.
