    Here's how I deal with eyelash yarn:
    1. Sit in a chair next to the fireplace
    2. Toss the yarn into the fire

    Omg!!! Bless your heart for sharing this miracle!!. I bought tons of eyelash yarn when it was 70%off and more when our Dollar Tree had it. Then I discovered it was impossible to crochet with so it was safely packed away for my reincarnation as a master of crochet. I think I will dig it out now. I think it will be adorable on sweater cuffs, hat brims, and anything that needs a row of fur

      This is me currently with mohair yarn. I am a beginner and overestimated my crochet ability, and ordered a ton of mohair yarn to crochet winter hats 😢😢

    I have a Ludo pattern that I've been wanting to try for months, but I knew I'd be out of my depth with the eyelash yarn. You've inspired me to make it in regular worsted weight and follow your surface crochet technique to fuzz him up when I'm done. You're a genius! Thank you for sharing!

    THANK YOU! I bought some fuzzy fur yarn and thought it was the softest ever and decided I had to make some stuffed animals with it. Stocked up on all the kinds too before ever getting it on my hook and then cried softly into it wondering how I would ever do it only 2 rounds in. This is genius and so much easier!

    THANK YOU for saving my eyelash yarns!!! I would try every so often to crochet with the "fun" yarns, then get frustrated and knit scarves. Now I can use this yarn for really fun stuff!

  • @venicepip8988
    @venicepip8988 3 роки тому +12

    I thought this was a brilliant idea. It was even faster and easier to thread the eyelash yarn on a large needle and sew through the stitches. An advantage is that most of the eyelashes get caught under the crochet stitches so that you can see what you’re doing. When you’ve finished brush them with a wire pet brush to pull the strands out.

    I found an excellent blog on how to crochet a rectangle throw pillow and she used the same technique. My cat loves to make knead on it. First crochet two SC rectangles and then SC your eyelash yarn just like she is showing here. Great advice and generous of you to share it! Your hedgehog is really nice!

    Oh yeah. I just got my first two skeins of fluffy yarn for a bunny for my niece. I tried a couple of circles, and by the third round I knew it wasn't going to happen 😂 my first thought was to surface crochet - a THOUSAND times easier, and it worked out pretty great!!
