Creating Hair with Brushed Yarn

Hey friends!
I have gotten a few questions on how I create hair and fringes on my amigurumi! This is exactly what I do to create super shiny and really beautiful hair, tails and manes!

I love the shelving for your yarn!

[@sandrap3089]

This method would also be great to create hair. This was awesome

[@FalseBubbles]

Definitely!!!

[@duxksi4597]

lol I found this after trying to make a lion mane. (Did your Loaf cat pattern then added a big mane to it/ a floof to the tail
I did it similarly, I just tied each individual yarn stran through some stitches where I wanted them doing double knots since I didnt really know what else to do. Then I brushed it out with a comb to get the fibers apart, im thinking of maybe ironing them later now lol
felting it down is probably better/ safer. I was planning to glue my project a little around the knots

[@FoxGameCZ]

Thanks, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to brush them from bottom or top. I plan to make braids and even a wig with this. ❤

[@LochNessaM0nster]

I need to try this! Thank you!

[@user-sh8iu2ny5q]

Thanks for the tutorial! I loved the Vulpix, could you do a tutorial on how to knit it?

[@kerriestuckey610]

Thank you so much for the video, just starting the vulpix pattern, and this video helps me a lot. Your pattern is great, easy to understand, even for us Australians. I have had to use DK/8ply yarn, as Aran/10ply isn’t very popular here, but so far all is going well.

[@FalseBubbles]

So glad you found it helpful!!! I'm always surprised when I hear that the Aran ply isn't common over there since its so common here!

[@Ocyla]

Very cool!

[@DomesticWithAnMD]

Woo! New video :)

[@thewhitneyrichmond]

Aaahhh! So glad I found your channel! I came across you on TikTok. I hope you plan on more videos 🙏❤️

[@FalseBubbles]

Awe!!! Thanks so much for finding me!!! Definitely plan on making more stuff soon!!!

[@lamusatumusa]

So cool

[@rosenbergbenadretti]

Hi Megan I love your videos and pattern. I have your Vulpix pattern and Im SO looking forward to do it. The only thing I don't know how to do is stitching together the front legs with the main body. Do you have a video u can recommend to learn that? Thanks a lot!!

[@FalseBubbles]

Hi there! So sorry about that!!! I don't have a video really explaining it... but I am more than happy to explain in one of my twitch streams! I'll be live today and tomorrow on twitch at 1:30 pm eastern! :)

[@nolsjawline]

that's so cool! I was wondering how people do that, but can't find any videos about it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH :>
One question, can hair wax or glue be used to style hair? Does it work like a wig?

[@FalseBubbles]

hmmm to be honest I haven't ever tried the "styling" part with products! I do know that some people use hairspray though!

[@jasonashleymorgan9863]

You can save all the fluff for stuffing so you won’t have to throw it all away

[@ChrisetteDesigns]

So cool! It's so silky and shiny! Your video is so bright too. If you don't mind sharing, what lights do you use?

[@FalseBubbles]

Thanks so much! I don't mind at all! I use two Elgato Keylights. I can adjust the warmth and brightness really easily with them, but I think there are some other cheaper options out there too that do the same thing. For my product photography I use two softboxes and one main light!

[@ChrisetteDesigns]

@@FalseBubbles Awesome! Thanks so much for getting back to me, I've heard more than one person mention that brand so I'll definitely check it out! I live in an apartment with terrible lighting so I definitely need it!

[@candicemetzgar]

How do you get it to stay in and not pull back out. 😩 I’m so doing it wrong.

[@bonnielol4127]

Would you have any ideas on how to brush out yarn into something I could attach to a rocking horse? For a mane and tail :)

[@FalseBubbles]

I actually got this idea from some furry designers that make tails. If you make a thick base braid with a bunch of strands of yarn you can latch Hook or use your crochet hook to secure the pieces of yarn onto the braid before brushing!!

Puedo compartir en Pinterest???

[@alittlecherry188]

This is a wonderful tutorial thank you for sharing. I was wondering are you selling/sharing pattern of Eevee I would love to make myself one. Thank you

[@FalseBubbles]

sorry!!! I didn't see this! I don't think I will be sharing the eevee pattern just because I have moved on to other things since then. I may go back but no promises! If you are feeling ultra adventurous I would use the vulpix pattern for the body and make some adjustments to a circular head! Thin triangular ears and a paintbrush shaped tail (triangular start and then widen into a circle).

[@alittlecherry188]

@@FalseBubbles thank you for your reply ^^ I will try crocheting Vulpix first. I never made anything this big actually

[@michaelsweet8719]

Where did you get the evee pattern from? I would love to make this

[@michaelsweet8719]

Sorry for asking but this looks amazing haha and would love to make this

[@FalseBubbles]

@@michaelsweet8719 that's ok!! Thanks for asking. I used my vulpix pattern and modified the head ears and tail! I never ended up finishing it as a pattern though 🥰

[@cheyennebigelow3142]

I would love to get your patterns for Vulpix and Eevee! Where do I get them??

[@FalseBubbles]

Vulpix is on ravelry right now!

[@cheyennebigelow3142]

@@FalseBubbles thank you!!

[@haleyosborn8575]

Can you please do a video tutorial how to crochet Eve please

[@xlo2348]

What exactly does that needle do?

[@FalseBubbles]

It pushes fibers into the piece with little barbs!
