Fancy Fur

Faux fur is number one on every fashion hot list. From scarves and collars to handbags and trims , a touch of fur is a must this season. Fancy Fur from Lion Brand® Yarn Company is the key to getting the look of the season with a little added flair. Fancy Fur is a wonderful fur yarn with an alluring, colorful pompom core. The colors range from elegant and sophisticated, with soft neutrals and tonal variations, to fanciful and fun, using bold brights and playful palettes.

Let the yarn do the work

Fancy Fur is fabulous both for knit and crochet. Whether you're a seasoned stitcher or a brand new beginner, a super-simple scarf looks super-stylish with Fancy Fur. That's because the yarn itself is a mixture of exciting elements, so even the most basic stitches , such as garter stitch or single crochet , make a beautiful finished piece. And no one but you needs to know how simple it was to make!

Fancy Fur Fun

Scarves are simple with Fancy Fur. Two to three balls will make a scarf that you will use all season long. Fancy Fur also makes tantalizing trims. Think about using it for cuffs or collars on a cardigan for that vintage look that is so popular today. And what more does any girl want than a furry, fuzzy bag? For extra durability, try holding one strand of Fancy Fur with one strand of another yarn such as Lion Suede. Give an old project new life with Fancy Fur. Add a trim of Fancy Fur on last year's poncho project, or try new colorful cuffs on your old sweater-coat.

A few tips for working with Fancy Fur

• Be sure you work the whole strand, rather than splitting the fur from the colorful core. If you are crocheting, be sure you pick a hook that is large enough to grab the whole strand.
• Count your stitches , sometimes it can be hard to see if you drop a stitch so count your stitches to be sure you have the right number as you work along.
• If you rip stitches, have patience and rip gingerly so that the core of the yarn doesn't get caught on the pompoms.
