Fur

A super-soft, voluminous faux fur yarn in 100% polyester. It brings luxurious fluff and rich texture to every stitch, OEKO-TEX® certified, and works up fast into plush, cuddly pieces.

Estako Fur has velvety fibers that feel gentle to the touch and create a lush, cloud-like finish. The fluffy texture helps disguise small mistakes, so even newer makers get smooth, polished results.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle inside a laundry bag to protect the pile, then lay flat to dry. Skip the dryer and the iron, since low heat flattens faux fur for good. After it dries, a light finger-fluff brings the pile back to full and soft.

Every batch of Fur is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, independently tested and free from harmful substances.

What is faux fur yarn and how do I use it?

Fur is a 100% polyester novelty yarn with a soft, dense pile that looks and feels like faux fur. It is used for plush amigurumi, fur trims and accents, and cozy accessories where you want a fluffy, animal-like texture.

Plush amigurumi and stuffed animals, fur trims on hoods and cuffs, hats and cozy accessories, and soft home decor accents. It is #6 Super Bulky, worked with a 7 to 9 mm hook or 8 to 10 mm needles.

Any tips for working with fur yarn?

Like other pile yarns, the fur hides the stitches, so count by feel and use stitch markers to track your rows. Work with an even tension and gently brush the pile to the front as you go for full coverage.

How do I wash Fur projects?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle inside a laundry bag, then lay flat to dry. Once dry, gently fluff or finger-comb the pile to restore its full, soft texture.
