"Fun Fur" Yarn/Yarns...what do you crochet?

[Butterflyrose]

I loooove fun fur! I buy it just because...I love it! My stash is growing and now it's time to put it to good use. The one item I've made is a purple pouch with purple fun fur trim.

Today I bought a skein of sparkly royal blue strands and plain royal blue fun fur...just because! I also have some white, black/grey mix w/gold strands and purple/orange/gold blend.

Now, please help this "fun fur" yarnaholic by sharing with me how you use your fun fur? I'm ready to use my stash so I can justify buying more!

OH I have some too. not as much as you do but I bought it at a yard sale for a dollar so what the heck the only thing i have done with it is (its silly but they are cute) I took a pair of flip flops and single crocheted around the straps lol they look kinda like the furry slippers that you see in he old movies lol I will look forward to seeing other ideas as to want to do with the 8 other scans I have

What wonderful ideas Ladies! Flip flops and blankets...sounds like a plan!

MsBhaven, having fun fur trimmed flip flops just adds to the fun! Thanks so much for sharing this idea!

Kayscrochetpatterns, I love those blankets! They are darling with that fun fur trim. Thanks so much for sharing! In fact, I have a black/white zebra-striped throw that I should buy some black fun fur for and trim it. A reason to buy more fun fur!

I HATE fun fur! I can not see where to put my stitchs. So if someone comes up with a way to crochet with old eyes please post.

I have made scarves with it. I have used it with another yarn and combined the two and I have just made scarves out of it by itself. Just don't make the mistake of doing solit black. It was actually the Boa yarn. I thought I would go blind before I got it made. The string the fur is attached to is black and so is the fur. Talk about not being able to see your stiches. After pulling it out multiple times I finally counted each stitch until I was finished. It turned out really cute but I won't make anymore like that.

Yes, I've heard about using yarn with it and I do have a skein of it and I might just use it that way. Thanks, I love Youtube

Oh Kay, thanks for the video! I'll add another yarn for my next project, the added yarn gives a more defined and thicker look too!Again, thanks for sharing!

Scarves are wonderful ideas for using fun fur MsBhaven and Luamerriam! Thanks for sharing!
