Yarn Wig Tutorial (In depth)

EDIT 1/30/18 : CAPTIONS ARE IN THANKS TO A VERY LOVELY VIEWER. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I hate my dumb chipmunk voice as much as you do, so I hope this is helpful to you all who can't understand me cus of my past self's dumb mistakes.

This tutorial is technically out of date at this point, and it is my goal to get a new tutorial made with updated techniques and tips for making any length yarn wig (and no sped up voice!!!) Stay tuned.

If you need more yarn wig tutorials now, or have questions- there is another SERIES you can depend on. It covers many things such as Longer wefts, making your own weaving cap, making connected wefts (only need one piece of yarn and theres so much less cutting and tying involved) and MORE!! Here's the yarn wig playlist:    • Yarn Wigs  
Your patience is appreciated

This video basically shows my initial yarnwig making process. AND YES it is sped up, sorry if this is a problem, i just didn't want it to be more than 30 minutes long.


The last yarn wig tutorial garnered LOTS of questions but also a lot of interest! So here we are with a better tutorial! By no means is my process "correct" or "perfect". (Again, I'll be making a series of videos that go over new and improved techniques I discover!
Playlist here:    • Yarn Wigs  

Materials needed: Surface to brush yarn, Wire brush, Needle & Thread, Scissors, Weaving cap, At least 1 skein of 100% Acrylic Yarn (1 will do but if you are making a longer or thicker than typical wig- consider 2 to be safe), and a Straightener with a low setting

Extra recommended materials: latch hook needle (you can Ventilate yarn!!!)
Hair razor/sheers (for styling)


Weaving cap I used in the video was from Qfitt. You can find weaving caps like these online or at nearly any local beauty supply store.
You can also make your own weaving cap with mesh & lace.

Yarn brands I like (Anything 100% Acrylic can work):
Caron
Caron Simply Soft
I love this yarn
Red heart soft
Lion heart
Yarn Bee Soft Secret

Additional information: Short wigs are honestly the best way to go using the method detailed in this video. Using this method you can brush a strand of 100% Acrylic Yarn to be about 3.5 inches but rarely much longer. If you are interested in techniques regarding longer wigs- this video covers the process -    • Yarn Wig Discoveries Episode 1: Brands, Se...  

Yarn wigs resist heat well and can be styled and restraightened on high heats, as well as washed and dried gently in the washing machine, though if washed, will likely need to be restraightened.

Questions are welcome! Hope this helps!
