Summarize this article:

Fun fur is a bulky weight yarn classified under weight category five. As such, the yarn is fairly thick and will create heavier, bulkier work.  Fun fur comes in a variety of color options. You can find it in solid colors, striped colors, or patterned colors. As for gauge, a 4-inch (10 cm) square of fun fur yarn will consist of 14 rows, each containing 12 single crochets, when you use a size K-10.5 (6.5 mm) hook. Fun fur yarn is also called eyelash yarn, furrish yarn, fuzzy yarn, and boa yarn. As a bulky yarn, fun fur should be worked using a larger size hook. The smallest hook you use should be size J-10 (6 mm), but you can use hooks as large as size P (15 mm).  Larger hook sizes will produce larger stitches. Larger stitches will be easier to see. They will also prevent the final work from being too dense and heavy. When following a pattern, it is best to use the hook size recommended in the pattern. When no hook size is mentioned, choose one within this range. Furry yarn can be used to create a wide range of projects. When starting out, it's best to find a crochet pattern that specifically calls for furry yarn instead of trying to adapt a pattern that calls for a different style of yarn.  Fun fur yarn is commonly used to create full scarves, hats, ad handbags. It can also be used to add a furry trim to sweaters, hats, boots, and gloves. You can find fun fur patterns for things like pillows, wreaths, and stuffed animals, too.
Know the facts. Choose the right hook. Look for the ideal pattern.
