Ecco un tutorial molto interessante per ottenere quell'effetto peloso che si vede in alcune creazioni.
Il tutorial è di The Roxycraft.For amigurumi, I usually don't use natural fibers, acrylic has so
many benefits for making dolls like durability, washability, and shape
resiliance that using natural fibers seemed like a waste of time and
effort. But I recently came into a stash of Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky. It's an awesome yarn with a wool/mohair blend and I couldn't let it just sit on the shelf.I had seen around the web
some dolls that were brushed and thought I might give it a shot. Since
I hadn't seen a tutorial for amigurumi specifically, my first attempt
ended in me killing some doll eyes by scratching them silly...so I
thought I might run you through the process so you can avoid some of
the pitfalls.Materials:
Any spun Natural fiber yarn (except cotton)
A dog slicker brush (mine has a soft brush on the flip side which I found came in handy at the end)Close-up of what the bristles of the slicker brush look like: (click any picture for a larger version)
In this tutorial, my doll has a head and that's what I'm brushing up
for you today. Make your piece until you only have a few round left to
go. In my case, I stopped before I got to the decrease rounds.Take out your stitch marker and avoid brushing your working yarn.
(ignore that I have forgotten to do this in the next photo...lol)When you use a dog slicker, one direction with smooth and the other
direction will have resistance as it is grabbing fibers. Brush in the
direction with resistance (you should feel tugging) in short even
strokes. Go in the same direction for several strokes and you will
begin to see fur forming.Now turn your work and with the same grabbing side, brush sideways over spot you have just brushed.
Doing this back and forth method will produce the fur much faster than
if you worked in the same direction. Continue working back and forth
until your get the desired results.Once you have a result you are happy with, add your doll
eyes. Finish crocheting your piece and stuff it. Then take your dog
slicker and finish brushing the bottom of your piece being very careful
to avoid the eyes.If your dog slicker has a soft brush side (you can also use a soft
bristle brush of your own) brush the fur in the direction you like
until smoothed out.Use this technique on all the parts of your doll individually and before assembly!
Here is what became of that head!

A quanto pare può andare bene anche la spazzola per i gatti, quelli che hanno il lato con i dentini metallici e lunghi. . -

Per chi non ha la spazzola per gatti o cani (tipo me che non la ho) e non gli va di comprarla, può provare con una spugna abrasiva, di quelle verdi che si usano per lavare i piatti... Io ho provato sulla schifezza di palla-rapa che ho fatto e funziona, anche se si deve lavorare un pò di più...
Però una spugna così penso che in casa ce l'hanno tutti !!!. -
