Perfume Puff question of doom !!

[Sonata]

Hi guys ! I never did rehairing before and I'm sure it will still be a while, but I was browsing around and I saw this BEAUTIFUL cutie around the web:

I don't know who did this or anything, so I am only sharing because she is so wonderful !!


But this got me thinking how you get hair like that, since I never saw a Perfume Puff in person before. I read people use yarn to do these things, but how? Is there a tutorial around from beginning to end on this type of hair? Do you need to dye the yarn or whatever you use?


I am really curious, so please PLEASE help me on this ! I really want to do something like this someday !

I've done a pony using this tutorial too! It's a lot of fun - but I think I may have gotten the wrong yarn (alpaca mix instead of 100% acrylic?) because she sheds like crazy!

I tried to follow that tutorial and I had -have- issues.  I did get 100% acrylic yarn, but I can't "comb" it to make it puff, it just pulls apart.

I've rehaired several ponies with yarn and my tip is to brush it with a slicker brush for dogs.

I've seen that pony before and will also go with jupiternwndrlnd's guess that it looks like one of Tuneys herd.

hannaliten - they are gorgeous!

Sounds awesome, do it.

Could anypony recommend yarn brands and sizes? The yarn in the tutorial seems quite big but I know nothing about yarn so I got no clue on what its size is.

[hannaliten]

I'd recommend Lion brand, size 6.
