✂️ Fluffy Yarn Technique
Here’s how to get the woolly fluff coat:
✨ Brushed Yarn Method:
-
Use regular worsted weight acrylic or wool yarn for the body.
-
After crocheting and assembling the alpaca, brush the entire body (except the face, feet, and snout) using a pet slicker brush or fine metal comb.
-
Gently brush the yarn repeatedly in one direction until the strands fray and fluff up.
-
Trim the fluff if needed to shape it evenly.
✅ Tip: For extra fluffiness, use loop stitch instead of regular sc when crocheting the body and then brush the loops open!
🧵 Assembly & Finishing
-
Sew the head to the body with secure stitches.
-
Attach legs and tail to body.
-
Add ears and snout.
-
Embroider mouth, nose, and eye accents.
-
Fluff the entire body evenly for that fuzzy alpaca look!
This fluffy alpaca is soft, squishy, and ready for cuddles. 🦙💛 Whether you’re making it for a nursery, gift, or shelf decor, the brushed yarn technique adds irresistible texture!
