🪡 How to Work with Fur Yarn
A few tips make working with fur yarn easy:
- Large needles and crochet hooks. The size is indicated on the product page for each yarn; for the skeins on this page, it is generally between 8 and 12 mm.
- Simple stitches. Stockinette stitch, garter stitch or single crochet: the fur hides elaborate stitches.
- Mark your stitches. With long fur it is difficult to count the stitches, so it is best to use stitch markers.
- Sew with smooth yarn. To finish the pieces use a blunt-tipped needle and a thin, strong thread.
