Furever eyelash yarn: super-bulky faux fur for cosy knits
Aktie
You know that feeling when you spot a faux-fur scarf in a shop window and think, "I could knit that in a weekend"? With Furever, you actually can. This is a super-bulky Weight 6 eyelash yarn — thick, lofty, and covered in those wispy polyester fibres that fan out and mimic fur as you work. Three balls come in the pack, which at 100g and 60 m each gives you roughly 180 metres total to play with. Plenty for a generous cowl or a scarf long enough to wrap twice.
Because it's 100% polyester, you won't be reaching for the felting bowl or hand-washing it in lukewarm water with that slightly panicked look we all know. It's also completely animal-fibre-free, so if anyone in your life reacts to wool or angora, this is a solid option for gifting. The eyelash strands mean it's not the yarn you'd choose for a cabled texture pattern (the fur hides everything, so keep your stitch pattern simple), but for garter stitch, big knit loops, or single crochet it's genuinely satisfying to watch it bloom into something that looks far more involved than it is.
If you want to build a coordinating winter set, Eyelash works beautifully as an accent layer alongside Furever — it's the same polyester family but in a lighter Bulky weight, great for adding texture to cuffs or collars. Long Eyelash is the closest sibling in the range, also a super-bulky polyester eyelash yarn but with extra-long fibres for an even more dramatic fur effect if you want to go bold. For a contrast-weight project where the stitch structure actually shows through, Alpine is a lovely super-bulky wool-acrylic blend that pairs well for brim or edging details.
Five colourways are available — White, Anthracite Black, Brown, Camel, Grey, and Black — covering everything from a clean winter white to deep neutrals that go with practically any coat. Grab the pack, cast on tonight.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Fiber Composition | 100% Polyester Fully synthetic and animal-fibre-free — a practical choice for anyone with wool sensitivities, and it won't felt or shrink the way natural fibres can. |
| Weight / Type | #6 SuperBulky — Bulky, Roving (Eyelash) The thickest standard yarn weight category. Projects knit up fast and the eyelash texture gives a faux-fur effect without any complex stitch work. |
| Yardage per Ball | 60 m / 65.62 yds per ball (180 m / ~197 yds for the full 3-ball pack) Three balls give you enough for a thick cowl or a medium-length scarf; a longer scarf or small lap blanket may need an extra pack. |
| Weight per Ball | 100 g / 3.53 oz per ball Heavier balls than typical eyelash yarn, which means more fibre per unit and a denser, more substantial finished fabric. |
| Package Content | 3 balls per pack Sold as a set of three — you get a matched dye lot straight away, which matters with textured yarns where slight colour variation between balls can show. |
| Recommended Needle Size | 9 mm knitting needles A chunky needle size that keeps the eyelash fibres loose enough to fan out properly — going smaller will compact the fabric and reduce the fur effect. |
| Recommended Hook Size | Not specified For crochet, an N/P (9-10 mm) hook is a reasonable starting point — work a gauge swatch first to check your tension. |
| Gauge | 20 stitches x 28 rows per 10 cm / 4 in on 9 mm needles A gauge swatch is still worth doing even on a simple accessory — eyelash yarn can knit looser or tighter depending on how firmly you tension the strands. |
| Care Instructions | Not specified Polyester yarns are generally machine-washable on a cool, gentle cycle — check the ball band on arrival to confirm before washing a finished piece. |
| Dye Lot / Colourway Notes | Not specified Available in White, Anthracite Black, Brown, Camel, Grey, and Black. Buy all the balls for your project in one order to keep a consistent dye lot. |
| Country of Origin | Not specified Origin information is not listed for this product. |
| Brand | Ice Yarns Made under the Ice Yarns house brand, stocked and shipped directly from the Ice Yarns warehouse. |
Frequently Asked Questions
How much Furever yarn do I need for a scarf or cowl?
The 3-ball pack gives you 180 metres total, which is plenty for a standard cowl or a scarf in the 150-160 cm range knitted on 9 mm needles in garter stitch or big loops. If you're going for an extra-long wrap scarf or a scarf with a wider cast-on, budget for a second pack just to be safe. Eyelash yarn is tricky to splice mid-project because the join can show through the texture, so starting with a little extra is always the smarter move. For a chunky hat you'd likely use one ball at most, leaving the other two for a matching cowl or a second hat as a gift.
Is Furever eyelash yarn suitable for beginners?
Honestly, yes and no. The 9 mm needles mean it knits up fast and there's very little stitch counting stress on a basic scarf pattern. The catch is that eyelash fibres make it genuinely hard to see individual stitches, so frogging and restarting a section is fiddly at best. If you're brand new to knitting, it's worth spending a couple of evenings on a plain worsted first so you can feel what a stitch should be without looking. Come back to Furever once you're comfortable finding your stitches by touch. For beginner crocheters, single crochet in rows is the easiest approach since you only need to find one loop per stitch.
