Has anyone tried this with multicolored yarn yet? It may be possible to get a bit of a gradient...

Thanks for the cool tutorial!

Finally finished my Lily of the Valley girl!
She was rehaired with gradient acrylic, I really love how it's easy to see at the roots and blends into the rest of the mane. :3 I may have found a new hobby!

Were you selling these at the fair? I REALLY wanted the large G4 with white yarn hair she was so pretty but I was out of monies :O

Haha nope, that wasn't me! Neato that you found some other yarn rehairs, though. I wonder if they saw this tutorial or just worked out their own method...

I tried this on a pony of mine and I think I brushed too hard because I had several whole strands come out. It doesn't look like she is bald but I think I could have kept some more of the hair if I hadn't been so enthusiastic.

Very cool, was just eyeing one of our recent Minty thrift finds as her mane is rather shot, might be fun to rehair with some fun yarn.

Eek! Did you glue the hair in place before brushing it? D: Your brand of glue might not be strong enough, or maybe you didn't use enough glue... I've recently been using E6000 instead of Tacky Glue to secure the hair, due to Tacky Glue not being waterproof (found that out the hard way when doing some boil-perms, lol whoops...). I think it's a bit stronger, too. You just need to make sure you REALLY get the roots inside the head saturated!

[ValhallaLilly]

I knotted it inside the head. With two strands of a four strand yarn in each hole.
I think maybe brushing broke some of the double strands off so it's really now one in each plug...
