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.

Summary:
Know the facts. Choose the right hook. Look for the ideal pattern.
