Long Eyelash 100gr: Luxe Yarn for Ultra-Soft Projects

You know that feeling when you walk past a yarn display and one skein practically begs you to touch it? That's Long Eyelash 100gr. This isn't your average fuzzy yarn. The fibers are genuinely long (hence the name), which means your finished projects will have that expensive, salon-quality texture that makes everyone ask where you bought it.

What makes this yarn special is how it balances dramatic texture with actual workability. You get 70 meters per 100-gram ball, which is perfect for those cozy weekend projects when you want something gorgeous without committing your entire month to it. The super bulky weight means your stitches fly off the needles, and you'll finish that scarf or cowl before your favorite show ends its season.

If you're drawn to textured yarns, you'll want to explore the entire eyelash family. The Eyelash Dazzle adds metallic lurex for projects that need extra sparkle, while the Long Eyelash Colorful offers stunning variegated colorways that create depth without any color changes. For a slightly different texture, Bunny Fur gives you that same plush softness with a tighter, denser fiber structure that's brilliant for baby items.

Let's talk about what you can actually make with this beauty. Scarves are the obvious choice, and honestly, they're spectacular. You only need one or two balls for a standard length scarf that looks like it costs three times what you paid. Cowls work up even faster. But here's where it gets interesting: try using this yarn as an accent. Add a single row to the cuffs of a plain sweater, use it as fringe on a simple shawl, or work it into a striped blanket for textural contrast.

The 100% polyester content means this yarn is hypoallergenic and surprisingly durable. It won't felt, it won't shrink, and it handles gentle machine washing beautifully. This is clutch if you're making gifts for people with sensitivities or items that will actually get used (not just displayed). Parents especially appreciate this because baby can absolutely drool on it without ruining your hard work.

With 40+ color options ranging from classic neutrals to bold jewel tones, you'll find exactly what your project needs. The Black and White combo is stunning for modern monochrome designs. The pastels (Baby Pink, Powder Pink, Lavender) are perfect for nursery projects. And those rich colors like Fuchsia, Turquoise, and Dark Purple? They make statement pieces that photograph beautifully.

This yarn comes in a 4-ball package, giving you 400 grams total to work with. That's enough for a generous scarf and matching hat, or a lap blanket that actually covers your lap. The gauge of 4 stitches and 11 rows per 4 inches means you'll want larger needles (think 10mm or bigger), and your project will grow satisfyingly fast.

One practical tip: wind your balls loosely. The long fibers can tangle if you're too aggressive with them, but they're totally manageable once you get the rhythm. Many knitters and crocheters prefer working with this yarn in the evening because the texture is so forgiving that you can practically work by feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What needle size should I use with Long Eyelash 100gr?

You'll want to use larger needles, typically 10mm (US 15) or bigger, depending on how dense you want your fabric. The official gauge suggests 4 stitches and 11 rows per 4 inches, but here's the thing: with eyelash yarn, exact gauge matters less than it does with smooth yarns because the texture camouflages everything. If you're making a scarf or blanket where drape matters more than precise dimensions, feel free to go up a needle size or two for an airier, more flowing fabric. Many crocheters love this yarn with a 10mm or 12mm hook. The super bulky weight means your project works up incredibly fast regardless of your tool choice. Start with a small swatch to see what fabric you prefer, because the long fibers will bloom differently depending on how tightly or loosely you work. Looser tension shows off the fiber length beautifully, while tighter work creates a denser, warmer fabric.

Can I machine wash projects made with Long Eyelash 100gr?

Yes, and this is one of the best features of this yarn. Because it's 100% polyester, it handles washing much better than natural fiber novelty yarns. Use a gentle or delicate cycle with cool or lukewarm water, and skip the fabric softener (the yarn is already soft enough). Put your item in a mesh laundry bag to prevent the long fibers from catching on other items or the washing machine's agitator. Air drying is best, laid flat on a towel, though you can use a low-heat tumble dry if you're in a hurry. The polyester content means your projects won't shrink, felt, or lose their shape like wool might. This washability makes Long Eyelash perfect for items that will actually be used, like baby blankets, everyday scarves, or throw pillows. One care tip: avoid ironing or exposing the yarn to high heat, as polyester fibers can melt or lose their fluffy texture under extreme temperatures.
