Ricorumi 25g Furry Furry 018 Olive

If neon isn’t your thing but you still want that lovely textured finish, Ricorumi Furry Furry 018 Olive 25g is a brilliant alternative. It’s soft, earthy, and quietly interesting – the kind of shade that works across all sorts of projects without shouting for attention.

This faux fur yarn is cleverly constructed with delicate fibres held within a fine thread, so as you work it, it opens out into a gentle, fluffy surface. It gives your stitches depth and movement, turning even the simplest shapes into something with real character.

The olive tone is especially versatile. It sits beautifully alongside natural palettes, making it perfect for animals, woodland creatures, or more understated designs. It pairs effortlessly with the Ricorumi cotton range too, so you can layer smooth stitches with soft texture without worrying about colour clashes.

How to use it (and why it works so well)

This is one of those yarns that enhances what you’re already making rather than taking over. You simply knit or crochet as usual and let the texture build as you go.

You can:

• add soft fur detail to animals and toys
• create subtle trims, ears, tails or hair
• combine it with cotton yarns for contrast
• use it to bring a more natural feel to your makes

It’s made from 100% polyamide, so it’s durable and holds its fluffy texture nicely over time. And although it looks a bit different, it’s easy to use – suitable for beginners as well as more experienced makers.

Care is straightforward too, with a gentle 30 degree wash keeping everything looking fresh.
