I can’t wait to try this. It looks a lot more efficient than the standard method. The instructions are easy to understand - thank you for making this tutorial! : )
Thank you :) Hope it helps to save time and materials. Feel free to ask me if you need help))) I've also been asked to make tutorials about part line in last Monster High wig and about how making wefts. Both will be on Instagram (and maybe here) if my camera let me filming it close enough.
For those wondering about the yarn: it is a LACE/SOCK weight. That's why the strands are smaller to begin with (most yarn weight in craft stores in the USA is category 4 - lace/sock weight is category 0/1).
That is really good info❤️ If I want longer strands can you tell me what I should be looking for. I know very little about yarn but brushes out some and the individual strands gave me a max length of just over 2 inches. I think it had a number one on it like you mentioned. Just not sure what to ask for next time I'm in the US and got it from Michael's but Walmart also has some, just not sure what would be longer strands when brushed out Side note the one I used was kinda a thicker yarn with 3 strand like things twisted..not sure if that matters. They do have some thinner yarns with 3 of the strand thingies. But is much thinner almost like something you would use for making bracelets. I don't know if the girth or fluffiness makes a difference or not🤷♂️ Hope that made any sense😄🤦♂️
I was going to ask because I tried this with just regular old acrylic and was TOTALLY UNABLE to pull the pieces from each other. It simply DIDN'T HAPPEN!! So, if you end up making another video for this technique, I would DEFINITELY recommend stating that in the beginning of the actual video. Just so that people don't have to wait for someone to ask in the comments before going out and purchasing "acrylic" simply bc that's all the info given till now. Thank you and it is BEAUTIFUL!!!
This is great! Also, I was making wefts with a particular acrylic yarn and it just wasn't cooperating. For some reason, the fiber just didn't want to get smooth. After a LOT of experimentation, I wound up turning the heat on my straightener way down and pulling on the fiber pretty hard, which resulted in a stretched fiber- I gained between half an inch and three quarters of an inch, which honestly surprised me a lot! Experiment! You never know what you might find out! Edit: also, you could just work directly from the skein, which would avoid a lot of those short bits you're left with! Edit #2- never mind. Working directly from the skein didn't work so well. 😕
This is fantastic! I can't wait to try it. I've got acrylic yarn but it isn't crochet yarn. If it doesn't work, then hopefully I can find the right colors to match. Thank you for sharing!
5 strands of acrylic yarn cut to 1 meter. Untwist strands into threads. Keeping each thread separate, use a hair strightener to straighten the threads. Next- pull the ends of the straightened threads off. This remives any short fibres. Repeat step until short fibres have been removed. Now, brush out the strightened hair to remove the remaining shoet fibres and knots. Then, wet the hair, and allow it to dry. Once fully dry, brush the hair again. Now you may use it :)
Yo dude! Thanks, I was looking for a tutorial how to make wigs with VERY thin yarn and found this might use this tutorial soon when i have enough budget to make a doll!
Дякую, за допомогу) Завдяки вам змогла нарешті зробити пасма. А то думала що придбала не ту пряжу, бо виявилась досить тонкою (YarnArt Etamin). Вже думала що дарма купила. Але натрапила на ваше відео і змогла зробити волосся. 😍😍😍Удачі вам і гарного дня.
Ой, дякую! Тішуся, що стало внагоді і допомогло врятувати витрачені кошти. 💙💛 З мого досвіду акрил в Етамінах - найкращий. Ще можете подивитися в бік Nako Ibiza. В мене був моточок рудого кольору і там якість акрилу була така ж.
This is helpful!! I have a 50.5 cm doll that has very long red orange hair and I cannot find a suitable wig for her so I will try this method! It can work a length this long ( down to the dolls ankle?)
Thank you for the tutorial! It works great if you have the right yarn and I'm lucky we get YarnArt in Romania. Tried pulling fibers with other types of acrylic but my fingers hurt and very little came out. My only problem is after separating the 2 strands my yarn is very twisty and it's very difficult to handle to straighten. How does your yarn sit so nice before you iron it?
Super, I'm so happy it works! Thank you for share your experience. I may also recommend you to try Nako "Ibiza". It's also Turkish yarn. I had one orange-red colour of it at home in Mariupol. It works also good and fiber quality in my opinion is very similar. If you have Instagram, you may check the wig I made for Monster High. It's mix of black, red and orange-red Nako. Hmm, never met Etamin twists honestly. If you have Instagram we may have videochat in DM, maybe if I saw it I may find something to advice you. Because just reading it's really difficult to imagine since I never met such problem.
@@doriantheelf8242 Thank you for the quick reply and sorry for my late, it was a busy week. I can't find Nako in stores but I have enough Yarnart Etamin to play with for now. Thank you for the recommendation, will keep it in mind for the future. Sadly I don't use Instagram, but I think I fixed my twisting problem, it's just more work than I expected. My problem now is hair fibers come out of glued wefts, I think maybe i didn't line-up the hair ends enough. Will have to practice more. If you could do a video someday with more detail on how much you iron the hair ( mine is not so shinny and makes knots fast) and how to prepare it for glueing in wefts, that would be very helpful. I'm sorry for what is happening in your country now. Sending you hugs from your neighbors. Slava Ukraini!
For a small size dolls (1/6) it will be this long. For 1/4 size dolls - no. In average acrylic fiber is around 14-16 cm. Rarely some very little amount was 20 cm. This is what I can say from my experience.
Hi I have a few questions! I reeeeeaallly want to use this method to make a Rapunzel wig and it has to be really long, like I’m talking 2 meters at least. My question is is that possible or will the hair just like fall apart or something? If so what if I maybe braided it, would that maybe work? Also does the hair like shrink a lot when you pull the fibre like you did in the video? I’m veeery new to this method I just discovered it like an hour ago so I don’t know exactly how it works but I’m totally obsessed with it🤩😍🤩😍
Hi))) Unfortunately acrylic fibre max length is 20 cm and it's just few rare fibers in a strand. I never met it longer. In average acrylic is about 14-16 cm. If you need long hair it's only synthetic fibre or alpaca. It's possible to find alpaca 40 cm, but the price will be high. In a case of alpaca I recommend Zerga Studio. You can find them on Instagram and Etsy. My friend brought from them for her Popovy doll wig and said that never net better quality.
I just rinse it in water. Yarn always cowered with something for comfortable knitting. And when you rinse your ready knitted cloth it always becomes softer, so... Also I tried hair conditioner, but didn't see big difference from just water rinse. If you have conditioner for clothing you may try it too (I don't have/use it).
What size yarn was this when you first got it? Was it a regular worsted weight yarn you used? I tried this with a size four that I unraveled using a drill but they didn’t look good like yours. I’m wondering if maybe I need to use more heat when I straighten it the first time!
Yarn I use is a crochet yarn. Can't say about size, but as you can see threads are thin. Max heat for acrylic is 110°C, so it may be not a good idea to use more heat. Overheated acrylic becomes not so soft as normal heated. It's mostly a question about quality of acrylic fiber. It varies a lot from yarn to yarn and from brand to brand. Here on video I use yarn called Etamin. It's a silky 100% acrylic crochet yarn. And different brands have it. You also may try to look for 100% microfiber yarn, usually it's same pure acrylic. But have to say that almost all yarn I can find here where I am is Turkish and a bit of Italian yarn.
How long does it end up being on the dolls head? I use the standard method, and it usually doesn’t get longer than shoulder length.. but it looks like your yarn is “stiffer” than mine. I use it for crochet but works for knitting as well. Maybe too soft/shorter fibers? Thank you for this idea!!
Longer than shoulder length anyway. Even for SD13. To the middle of back for my SDs (instagram.com/p/B7D64v3nhyI/?igshid=1xkx7e69v8imv). Curled wig is to shoulders for SD. And longer than waist, sometimes to buttoks for Minifee and my Withdoll MSD girl. It's really longer with this method and not that much wastes. But fiber length also depends on brand. This yarn on the video is also crochet yarn and it doesn't stiff. The fiber in this yarn is the most soft and silky of all I tried. P.S. I will gladly help and will answer if you have more questions, just DM me on Instagram @hikihiki_ksu. It will be more quick and comfortable. And I could show photos and videos in DM there. Link I gave is from my IG - dark blue yarn wig on SD13 doll. Unfortunately it's impossible to add a screenshot here((((
Dorian The Elf - Thank you for the reply! I concluded that my yarn is not twisted enough from the beginning. The fibers are shorter and softer, hence why I loose so much doing the other method. I’m going to try with different yarns, and your suggestion in the video. I don’t have IG, but thank you anyway! (Fairly new to making wigs, so I’m exploring options.)
@@TristanReveur There's a lot of wigmakers and useful info could be found on IG, that's why I'm there. From my experience may say that the more silky, shiny and less fluffy thread - the best hair you'll get. My top yarn is Etamin from different Turkish brands.
Dorian The Elf - Yes I know, but I prefer YT :) I’ve been following some people on here for a long time. But I’ve never seen this method of making hair with yarn. That’s why I was so intrigued! Many use “real” doll hair (rerooting), but I’m only doing this as a creative side project. So starting out this is a great way to do it!
@@TristanReveur I improved previous method I used, thanks to many people who shared their experience with me: that it's better to untwist and then brush, that it's better straightening untwisted before brushing etc. People shared with me their experience and I can say that this method really works and let them get longer hair with same yarn they used for standart method.
Out of curiosity does this still work with fluffier yarn? I plan on making a cosplay wig and the wefts shown here should be a good length, but I ended up buying fluffier yarn
It works of course. Just keep in mind that acrylic fibre in different yarn could be different quality and not always you could realise it without trying. So some process of transforming yarn into hair could be not as smooth as you may expect after the video. I met lower quality in same Etamin I use in the video. Where fiber itself was already tangled when I came to stage where I pull out the fibre. So I had to tear apart fibre instead of easily pull it.
It looks like hair but does it actually feel like hair? Also does it get tangled easily? I did a few strands it's nice but it doesn't feel like hair and I don't know if it's the yarn I'm using
Of course it's not, acrylic is much thinner than hair and do tangles easily. If you have it max long and want it to looks good longer you have take good care of it. Actually any material need to have a good care. If you want something "like hair" for your dolls, then you have to buy goat or alpaca hair. But of course it much more expensive.
@@doriantheelf8242 thank you for the response. I'm glad I'm on the right track. However I only tried to do this with regular worsted yarn (medium weight) one day I'm going to try finding the yarn you use if not something closer 😁
@@OddAndAbout even usual acrylic could be good, just look at quality of thread. More shiny and less fluffy. Currently I'm in Czech Republic (I lived in Mariupol) and have to say I don't see in local shops Etamin. Also got info from different people that's it can't be find out of Ukraine or Russia. Actually Etamin is cheap and specific yarn, maybe it's not popular that's why shops don't have it. You may find photos of this yarn in my Instagram, I made a "palette" shot earlier.
May I ask how you do the fringe? I did mine and hair was stiff and doesn't follows the shape of the forehead :( ... do you also use the straightener with that?
Actually I have the same problem *sigh* The shorter you cut fibre, the less it holds a shape. And in my experience straight cutting line for fringe - is complete fail. You may find some photos of wigs I made with fringe on my IG and fringe wasn't good.
Anyone know which brand would be a good equivalent to get in the US, cause i cannot find that brand here for the heck of it. I tried other chunky yarns and the method works with that type too, but some just do not look as silky.
Unfortunately I can't help you with this. US based people asked me and it seems like Turkish brands of yarn is impossible to find in US. All Etamins I know for now are by Turkish brands. The only thing I can say is the more shiny and less fluffy a thread is, the best result you'll get. Also you may try to look for a 100% microfiber yarn. Mostly it's kinda acrylic. But I didn't tried any such yarn, so it's just assume. I got similar hair quality with "Ibiza" by Nako. Not sure if I showed it in my Instagram. But Nako is also Turkish brand.
Hmmm, hard to say. I'm not sure it will work this way. Acrylic is afraid of temperature higher than 100 ° C, if I remember right. You may try to untwist, pull hair from untwisted unstraightened strands and brush it. And then rinse it in cool or cold water and try to straighten it. P.S. Could you DM me on Instagram? It's easier to reply there. I will try to do the same at this weekend to see if it works.
In this video I just rinse it in water without anything and holding it tight with my fingers. Also tried to use hair conditioner. It gives effect, but not too much.
As you can see I don't burn acrylic yarn. Just check temperature if you have temperature controller. It shouldn't be more then 100-110° C. I had no temperature indicator, just used to my hair straightener. P.S. Can't answer more details, because all you can see on the video is now in my home in destroyed Mariupol.
Hello, Cin. Some people told me sometimes about such problem. Maybe it's because of fiber, I mean thread made of short fiber. I've never had this problem with yarn of Turkish brands. Or maybe your fiber isn't 100% acrylic?
You can use the fluff from the brush for needle felting or stuffing. Thank you for the tutorial!
I can’t wait to try this. It looks a lot more efficient than the standard method. The instructions are easy to understand - thank you for making this tutorial! : )

I honestly thought that those skeins you show at about 8.04 were ones that you had premade of pre untwisted yarn....lol
I didn’t even think about using this method! I’ve just been brushing it out and losing 3/4 of a hair weft!

Hmmm, hard to say. I'm not sure it will work this way. Acrylic is afraid of temperature higher than 100 ° C, if I remember right. You may try to untwist, pull hair from untwisted unstraightened strands and brush it. And then rinse it in cool or cold water and try to straighten it.
P.S. Could you DM me on Instagram? It's easier to reply there. I will try to do the same at this weekend to see if it works.

How do you wash the yarn in water?
In this video I just rinse it in water without anything and holding it tight with my fingers. Also tried to use hair conditioner. It gives effect, but not too much.
Doesn't the heat burn the yarn? Could I use straighten on acrylic yarn?
As you can see I don't burn acrylic yarn. Just check temperature if you have temperature controller. It shouldn't be more then 100-110° C. I had no temperature indicator, just used to my hair straightener.
P.S. Can't answer more details, because all you can see on the video is now in my home in destroyed Mariupol.
I nerd use in reborn dolla, ia right? I van use this Fiber for reborn?
Sorry, I have no expirience with Reborn. Maybe it will be OK, maybe not - just try.
Does anyone know what the heat tool she used is called? 🙏🏻
Just human hair straightener for hair, or flat iron depends on how it usually called in the place where you are.
Hey, I just tried this and when I pull I'm only getting really short bunches of fiber out of the edge. Help!
Hello, Cin. Some people told me sometimes about such problem. Maybe it's because of fiber, I mean thread made of short fiber. I've never had this problem with yarn of Turkish brands. Or maybe your fiber isn't 100% acrylic?
Where are you from?

Thank you😘
Your English seems a little broken, but I could still understand so it’s all good! Can’t wait to try this method out! 💕💕💕
Thank you)))
P.S. Of course it is, because I'm Ukrainian and English isn't my native language)))
