Ricorumi 25g Furry Furry 021 Taupe

There’s something quietly brilliant about a good neutral, and Ricorumi Furry Furry 25g 021 Taupe is one of those shades that just works everywhere. It’s soft, earthy and beautifully understated, giving you all the texture of a faux fur yarn without shouting for attention.

This clever yarn is made with delicate fibres embedded into a fine carrier thread, so as you crochet or knit, it naturally blooms into a gentle, fur-like surface. It’s an easy way to add depth and softness to your stitches, turning simple shapes into something a bit more tactile and characterful.

The taupe shade is especially versatile. It blends effortlessly into natural palettes, making it perfect for animals, woodland creatures, or more subtle design details where you want texture rather than contrast. It also sits beautifully alongside the Ricorumi cotton range, so you can mix smooth and fluffy finishes without any colour clashes.

We love this one for projects where you want a more realistic or muted finish, but still want that playful furry effect. It’s particularly lovely in amigurumi, where it adds gentle personality without overpowering the design.

Made from 100% polyamide, it’s lightweight, durable, and easy to work with, with a generous 175 metres per 25g ball giving you plenty of creative freedom. And despite its fluffy appearance, it’s still very approachable, so makers at all levels can get stuck in straight away.

How to use it and why it’s so useful

This is one of those yarns that quietly enhances everything around it. You simply knit or crochet as normal and let the texture build as you go.

You can:

• add soft fur detail to animals and toys
• create natural-looking trims, ears, tails or accents
• combine with Ricorumi cotton for layered texture effects
• use it sparingly for subtle realism or more generously for full fluff

It’s easy to handle, doesn’t overwhelm your stitch definition, and blends beautifully with other yarns. Care is simple too, with a gentle 30 degree wash keeping everything fresh and soft.

Suitable for beginners through to confident makers, it’s an easy win when you want texture that feels natural rather than novelty.
