What Can 1 Skein of Fun Fur Make?

Fun Fur is a novelty yarn from the Lion Brand Yarn company. It can be used alone or in conjunction with another strand of yarn when knitting or crocheting. One skein of Fun Fur can create a hat, a scarf or embellish other garments.

Texture

Fun Fur is an "eyelash" yarn, which means that delicate 1 1/2-inch strands of fiber flow away from the main strand and resemble eyelashes. The Fun Fur exotics line uses eyelash strands in two lengths to give a furrier texture.

Weight

Fun Fur falls into the #5 "bulky" yarn weight category because of the eyelash texture. On size 10.5 needles, the gauge is 16 stitches and 20 rows to 4 inches. With a size K crochet hook, the gauge for a single crochet swatch is 12 stitches and 14 rows to 4 inches.

Colors

Fun Fur is available in 47 colors. They range from the very simple ivory and white, to bright fashion colors such as raspberry and tangerine and even multicolored prints such as sandstone (gray, brown and white) and confetti, (pink, green, yellow and blue).

Skein Size

Fun Fur solid colors and exotics lines are sold in 1.75 oz./50g/64 yard balls. The multicolor prints come in 1.5 oz./40g/57 yard balls.

Uses

One skein of Fun Fur is good for adding edge trim to hats, bags, mittens or other garments. It can also be held together with one ball of another fiber, such as a fuzzy boucle yarn, and knit or crocheted into a boa-style scarf.
