Any special tips I should know about before beginning a scarf project with eyelash yarn? I'm fairly new at knitting, so no help is too basic!

i have no clue about knitting, and i don't know what eyelash yarn is, but i'll bump this for ya!
Good luck! :)

It can be tricky to keep the stiches straight (meaning you could miss one, because you think it's the "eyelash" part of the yarn). It can be very difficult to unravel if you make a mistake as well, as the fibers get really tangled up.

Any time i knit with it, I used it in conjunction with a plain yarn for body. That way you get some weight to it and still get the fuzziness.

These really aren't much in terms of tips... but good luck!

Thanks for the help. i do plan to use a second yarn with it...so i guess ill just give it a go (and thanks for the bump, elfchick!)

I love eyelash yarn, but it can be the devil, especiallyif you drop a stitch. Count your stitches after ever 2 or 3 rows, so you never get too far from where you're supposed to be. Also, it knits up at a really loose gauge so don't expect the stitches to be super tight together.

What kind of eyelash are you using?
