    I was about to drop 50+ on some faux fur for a costume. Thankfully now I can just utilize all my leftover yarn. You saved me a lot of money and tears, thanks!

    Isn't this amazing? During all the years I've been a yarn crafter and watched a bazillion yarn related tutorials, I've seen plenty of people spin yarn from "fur" or roving. But until now I've never anyone do the opposite - unyarning! It lends an awesome effect and would be great for so many different projects. Thanks for showing this!

    Yavonne, this video came up while I was searching for ways to crochet fur. I overlooked it about 5 times and finally just watched it and this is going to be SO MUCH BETTER!! My daughter is in 3d grade and making a Valentine's day box for her class party. She just learned that they're picking a winner for the best box! So she came up with the idea of doing a unicorn box ! She is going to use origami to build the horn and wings (Yes, I know unicorns don't have wing's but she insists on wings), but we needed new a good way to cover the body with fur and THIS IS IT!!!! I'll have her use a hole punch on the cardboard box and pull the yarn through those holes to cover the entire body. I'm so excited! She'll have a blast! I'll post pics when she's done. Wish her luck!!!

    I was watching this and remembering a "fur yarn" Cheshire Cat scarf hoodie I had crocheted that had tragically FELTED in the wash! Your technique of straightening the fibers may SAVE my favorite project by UN-Felting it! I'm going to go buy a carding brush and a flat iron! Thanks so much!

      Those faux fur mats always get messed up in the wash. When I had a pet grooming salon someone brought in one of those for us to wash. That's when I first realized I could treat it like actual fur on a pet. So I washed, shampooed, blow dried it and used a pet brush. It came out beautifully!!

    Some 30 yrs ago, I had made my son a lion halloween costume. I had made the costume itself in fleece and threaded through the hood lenghts of acrylic yarn, then untwisted it and brushed it. I had made the ears with suede. And painted his face with an elaborate lion pattern. Needless to say, it was a big hit. The school even asked me to replicate the makeup for a show they had at school. And there was my son, opening the parade with his costume and makeup. He was so proud! And so was I.
    I also used this technique to make a cushion. Worked great!

    Hi Yvonne, I have just watched you making fur out of yarn and i have to tell you for a person like myself who has very little in the way of budget and tons of wool laying around this is pardon my English, Bloody brilliant. I can do the same thing on a fabric stiffener and thread it through there to give me the same effect. I am so glad i stumbled upon you this year its amazing as a crafter how much more i have learned just from watching you craft your magic. Thank you so so very much. i am blown away by the wool to fur magic. Faux fur is so bloody expensive to buy and when you only need a little bit of fur it makes no sense for me to buy a meter of fur for 6 inches of fur on a doll outfit. Thanks again Yvonne you rock girly thank you. Every time i watch you i learn something new. I am totally gob smacked.

    I actually braided a lot of yarn together like a rope, then tied in some bunches of purple and black yarn and brushed those out for my Cheshire Cat cosplay a couple years ago. It took a while to do, but then I laced in some small LEDs on the little string with the battery pack, so I had a light up tail. I put a carabiner clip at the top and wore it attached to my skirt, where it clips into the belt loop then the battery and switch go in the pocket. It was super fun to do, and was a great hit at the conventions I go to :)

    I struggle to get longer fur, which really annoys me, but this technique is still incredibly useful! I used it to make a wolf tail and also hair for a wig, both for cosplay!
    I bet at least 70% of the people watching this are furries XD

      Correct. Anyone knows if you can needlefelt the yarn fur? And is it easy to wash and how to safely wash it? And how do you keep the fur looking nice with brushing it

    This video is so great, thank you for sharing Yvonne! I spent a fortune on craft fur making Christmas gnomes last year and figured there had to be a way to make my own. Thank goodness for RUclips and more importantly you for making the best instructional video I could find on the topic! If i want to pre-make beards for my gnomes, do you have any good suggestions on what I could use to attach the yarn to instead of leather? TIA for your reply. :)

    • @MiLittleCorner
      @MiLittleCorner Год назад

      I'm a little late but this is such a great idea. I plan on doing this for gnome beards also. My gnomes are small so it should be pretty easy but I'm going to sew (by machine) the yarn onto grosgrain ribbon, brush out the yarn and glue the beard to the body of the gnome before I add the hat. That way, the ribbon and top of the beard will be hidden. Yvonne's method of preparing the yarn is genius and I'm going to do the same thing, also doubling it like she did. I can make the ribbon as long as I like and the yarn as full as I like. Grosgrain ribbon is sturdy but not bulky and should hold up to the tension of brushing the yarn. Just support the yarn and the ribbon when brushing out the yarn. If you've made some beards, I'd love to hear what you came up with to make your gnome beards.

    Really fun and beautiful project....I love this idea.
    Just one thing I noticed as a professional seamstress......because you have knotted it off, you can retread your last binding off string and feed it back through the material to the front side and have all your fibers together for a more finished and polished look....that or weave it through the knotted side to polish off the work, and really secure the bind off. Other than that.....it's really great work and a very fine finished look! I think I will use your hair straightener idea on some of my older fur cowls and bring them back to glory......happy crafting!

      Neck Deep Jay I actually braided a lot of yarn together like a rope, then tied in some bunches of purple and black yarn and brushed those out for my Cheshire Cat cosplay a couple years ago. It took a while to do, but then I laced in some small LEDs on the little string with the battery pack, so I had a light up tail. I put a carabiner clip at the top and wore it attached to my skirt, where it clips into the belt loop then the battery and switch go in the pocket. It was super fun to do, and was a great hit at the conventions I go to :)

    I guess for longer fur would you ... use a wider tube??? I'm making a creature with different lengths of fur. Thick and longer around neck and tail... I'm interested.

    • @backtoearthcreations
      @backtoearthcreations  7 лет назад +3

      Hey, Jennifer! I have found that with the yarn fur it is limited by the weft of the yarn (if that is the right term....) the fibers the yarn is spun from are only so long, and that limits how long the final fur can be. For longer fur I would experiment with cutting the yarn long and only brush out the last 3 inches of it, if that makes sense :)
