Hi, I would definitely recommend getting a good quality fuzzy yarn because when making plushies especially and creating magic rings etc. the fuzzy yarn tends to rip! Also join my ongoing pattern giveaway to have a chance of winning a free pattern from my shop! :two_hearts:

I can’t say for sure since I don’t know the quality/brand of the yarn but have you tried using anti-pilling yarn? I’m not too familiar with cotton yarn so I can’t say for sure lol

Will look into. I was using a german brand of yarn that I buy at the yarn shop. The thing is that i dont have this issue with all their cottin yarn, like their thin one doesnt fuzz. In anyway i did not know they were anti fuzz ones thamk you for the great tip :smiling_face:

No problem! It could also be that the yarn was a bad batch/lot as well

What kind of yarn are you using? Is there some percentage of acrylic, in which case that could be causing the fuzzing. I mostly use 100% cotton yarn and I never have any fuzzing problems, but I have had that issue with acrylic before.

I’ve never had a 100% cotton fuzzing on me, only regularly split the yarn and have like a weird single strand sticking out.

What brand and type is it? Might indeed be a mix like @ArtsAndNaps mentioned, or do you maybe have a picture of the fuzzing?
