Fuzzy Stuff is a wonderful specialty thread. Fuzzy Stuff is distributed by Rainbow Gallery Threads {1} and comes in a variety of fun colors. As the name implies, Fuzzy Stuff is a fuzzy looking thread, making it great for beards and animal furs, or just as some added fun and funky texture to your canvas. Fuzzy Stuff comes in 15 yard cards. {1}
As with many of Rainbow Galleries threads, this thread does NOT have dye lots (woo!). However, this thread does only come in 15 yard cards, so make sure to double check and take that in to consideration if you plan to use it for a large project.
Fuzzy Stuff is only available to purchase through a vendor (you cannot directly purchase from Rainbow Gallery). As noted on 8/7/2024, we found Fuzzy Stuff priced between $3.50-$4.95 {2-6}
(Please note, these were non-exhaustive searches. This is only to provide a few of the vendors who sell Very Velvet online and to provide a general idea of the cost of a card. We recommend searching on your own/visiting your local needlepoint store.)
For the first time we are covering a thread that I don't love. I love the look it gives, and think that it is a really fun option, especially if you want a fuzzy look and don't want to do turkey work. However, I find that it gets too tangled for my liking and isn't worth the hassle. (note: I have tried smaller thread lengths and longer stitches, but still find this issue.) Do not let this deter you from trying it though! This is just my own opinion from stitching with it. I know plenty of people who love this thread, and your experience may be different from mine so I would definitely recommend giving it a try!
Below are some examples of pieces stitched with Fuzzy Stuff, including some that were stitched by you! Thank you so much for sharing your work with us, we absolutely getting to show it off!
