How to Create Fur Out of Yarn

Here is a tutorial showing you how to create fur out of yarn for your crochet projects. This is a simple technique that only requires a cat slicker brush. All you have to do is brush, brush, and brush until you have achieved the level of ‘furriness’ you desire. You can brush in any direction and even accentuate some parts according to what you are making. I have used this technique on acrylic yarn for several crochet toys including a yeti, cats, dogs, and the Grinch which is shown in the example below. (You can also find that pattern here.)

There you have it. I hope this was helpful to learn how to create fur out of yarn. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. And please tag me in your creations on Instagram @baubles_and_yarn. To see more of my tips and tutorials please click here.
