Faux fur from yarn [HELP]

[chromatixa]

I saw this video tutorial and was wondering if this technique would be possible for making a sheet of faux "fur"
I'm planning to make a partial/mini partial, so I definitely don't need a whole load of fur. My fursona has six colors, mostly different shades of brown/burgundy so I really don't want to buy six different colors of fur and drop $80+ on

Hi there, I think the yarn idea might be possible, but definitely will be a lot of work! I would think you can get a much more blended effect with the colours. It looks like you'll first have to make a fabric "base" that fits onto the fursuit head, and then attach the yarn tufts to that. I don't know if electric clippers would cut yarn well. Perhaps instead of shaving the fibres down, use sharp scissors to shape them

Yeah, that's sorta how they make rugs and faux furs. Just they have machines to do all of it.
