Lion Brand Fun Fur Yarn

"Fun Fur" is the name of Lion Brand's fluffy eyelash yarn. You can use this yarn for crocheting, knitting and many other crafts. Fun Fur has already been reviewed many times on the Internet, but knitters wrote the majority of the reviews. In my opinion, this yarn is easier to knit with than it is to crochet with, so knitters' reviews won't necessarily tell the crocheter everything (s)he needs to know.Here's my assessment of the yarn, written from a crocheter's point of view.
