I have a lint roller I use for the fuzz, I also use it for my dogs fur because she sheds 24/7 :sob:

and after this happens it is SO HARD TO FINISH SEWING!!! it seems to clump up and make it really hard to pass the yarn through the stitches

I feel like this happens the worst with parfait chunky lol.
I’m not sure if there’s any way around it but I just try to sew as gently as I can

I use embroidery thread that matches the best

If you look at this video (from 8:30) it might help! This guy mainly designs things in plush yarn and these tips are quite helpful overall :slight_smile:

This is also one of his videos that might be helpful:

If you burn the end slightly with a lighter it will melt the end but do it quickly and not too close so it doesnt catch on fire and that will stop it from coming off the end

I try to keep going if I can, but if I can’t ill usually cut off the the part that is super bad and attach fresh yarn

I crochet with that type of yarn a lot and here is what I found helped

If you use a bigger needle and wrap the yarn around it twice it should help it not fall apart. I’ve put in an image so you can see how I wrap it but you can wrap it any way

Tie a knot at the end so that the fluff can’t fall off.

I hope this helped, good luck! :crossed_fingers:
