Best Guinea Pig Yarn?

Hello, friends! I’ve been asked to make some crochet guinea pigs, and I want to try to make them as close to matching this person’s pet guinea pigs as possible. I’ve found some cute patterns, but I am wondering if there is any yarn that would replicate the way that guinea pigs’ fur/hair sticks up in little cowlicks all over the place. The best I can think of is faux fur yarn, but that doesn’t tend to have the height that the little cowlicks do. Anyone have any ideas?

hmm not too sure, maybe brushing the yarn?

That might work! I could definitely try it.
