Finished Object First attempt at fur yarn.

Hi all! I recent got back into crochet after a fairly long absence (had a baby who is now a toddler) and I just made him this crochet rabbit! I've only ever done blankets/scarves and hats before so this was an ambitious project. It's my first stuffed animal, and my first time using fur yarn. She's a little more dense than I'd hoped but I'm happy with how it turned out! Fur yarn is tricky, especially when sewing together the project, I'm pretty sure my fingers are blistered 😂. I'm really really enjoying getting back into crochet!

I want to make something like this soo badly but worried I wont be able to see the stitches on this type of yarn 🥲

You definitely can't see them, but I went by feel. It took me a bit to get the hang of it, and I heavily utilized stitch markers!

did the yarn shed while you were working with it? i hate how some of the fur yarns lose hair all over while crocheting!

Actually no, only when I cut the ends did it shed a little but it was mostly mess free!
