![]() If you missed my blog over on the Clover Needlecraft website yesterday, be sure to check it out! I will be referring back to it once we begin the process of actually creating the "Eco-Fur" In this post, I will be going over the base fabric pattern. What is Eco-Fur? It's a new technique I've been developing to create an authentic fur fabric that has less of an environmental or ethical impact than acrylic faux fur or authentic traditional fur. This process can be utilized on Knit, Crochet, Woven, or Felted fabrics! The possibilities and applications of this process is endless. Now let's get into the project.

![]() Adding Eco-Fur To finish off your projects, secure mohair or teeswater locks to your liking onto base fabric following the steps laid out in my Eco-Fur tutorial HERE on the Clover blog. Finish by securing pieces to desired projects. Once you add fur to one project, youll be stockpiling locks of mohair and teeswater for all your stunning avant guarde pieces! Be sure to tag me in any projects on Instagram @portquoelio using #QUOE and #breakthestatus. Catch me next week on the Clover blog with a whole new tutorial using hemp rope and cotton yarn for a perfect summer time project! Until next time, Break the Status.
