![YARN SNOB REVIEWS LION BRAND WINTER YARNS [How much texture is TOO MUCH?! Asking for a friend...]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/i_fwKO6AC_U/mqdefault.jpg)
I had eyelash yarn last year and finally thought to add regular yarn to work them together. I made a scarf for my granddaughter and it turned out great. It looked like fur.
Great ideas and video. Thank you.
Additional tip? You can surface crochet on the eyelash yarn (if you don't know how to do this, where you want the yarn, just do your crochet in the back loops, and then crochet into those loops), and that works too!
Thank you! I just bought a ton of novelty yarn off craigslist for $20 and I have no clue at all what to do with this and I’m glad I found these tips
I've been looking everywhere to look for the understandings of the odd fuzzy knotty textures yarn. FINALLY YEAH ❣️ YES THAK YOU ❣️😀🙋
I use eyelash yarn with some Amigurumi. I agree that using a strand of regular yarn with it helps! Also, make sure you're going "with the grain"... The eyelashes on the yarn "point" in a certain direction, depending on which end of the skein you're working from. You want the lashes to point in the same direction as your hook.
your eyelash that you were using with the acrylic worsted weight yarn is a lion brand yarn fun fur prints(tropical). just letting you know. thanks for all the great tips in this video link.
Was coming to comments to say this!
Jennifer, I'm so glad I found your site! I've crocheted for a while but never with novelty yarn. Being a craft hoarder i never turn down anything free.😁 A friend gave me TWO laundry baskets full of this yarn. Thought of making kids' hats but had no clue how to work with it. Thank you so much for this video!💕
we're glad to see your thumb is all better 😀 (noticed bandage gone)
we love all your vids...thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
n creative talents with us......kj 🇨🇱
AM USING A REGULAR YARN WITH THE NOVELTY COMPLICATED YARN...WILL SHOW IT ON UA-cam WHEN I FINISH MY PROJECT...OK....THAT'S MY NEW IDEA IF USING REGULAR YARN WITH NOVELTY YARN..... LIKE YOUR VIDEO.
Thank you for the tips. I love novelty yarn but I use it with a more regular yarn as you advised, or for accents.
Another knitter advised to first crochet the project with a regular yarn and crochet the novelty yarn on top of the work. I haven't tried it though, so I'm not sure how that works out.
Another question is how to connect the ends of some of those thick fluffy yarns. Someone advised to weave through both tails with a needle and a thread of similar color so that it wouldn't show.
My problem with those yarns is to stop the ends. If I do it the traditional way, it makes those parts of the work look quite thick, and I think that it is better to sew them into the work as the yarn may unravel, sometimes.
I recently bought some novelty yarns and had trouble crocheting with them. Your tips came in handy. Thank you so much!
That was a good idea on the eyelash yard. Thank you now I can use it.
okay i just switch my aluminum hook to bamboo hook and it work so wonderfully, thank you for your tips!
thanks so much Jennifer! I had a pattern that used this yarn and It was so frustrating until I heard these tips! I love all of your videos. I would recommend a yarn scrap Friday with eyelash yarn for my leftovers. thank you!
As always, a great video! Thank you, Jennifer! 🙂
I love the white with colorful bits.
Someone gave me as present. Didn't know what to do with it. Good idea to add another yarn. Thank you. Your videos give very clear instructions. 👍🏼
This yarn is called wicked Ostrich Knitting Yarn by Houseware Essentials.
Excellent video! I've only bought little remnant novelty yarns from the thrift store - and there are a lot of them. I think once most people finish these novelty yarns they give away the yarn that is left over. I am a quilter and one project I want to do is sew the novelty yarns on to a quilt top in a wondering over the quilt top for texture and added color. I love the idea of including worsted yarn with the novelty - I'm going to try that.
I believe it is called "Funky Boa" yarn. Thank you for the tips.

I am using Bernat pipsqueak yarn for a blanket. I am trying to get the stitches back on the needles but I cannot see the stitches. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Any tips for working with this type of yarn in the round? Every time I've used it, the fluffy side always ends up on the inside of my stuffed animals 😣
