Here's a yarn tail I just spent the last several weeks working on!

Not a terribly difficult process, but very time consuming, especially because I didn't really know what I was doing. xD But it made a very good project to keep me busy over winter break. I even got my sister and a friend to make some with me.

I haven't gotten pictures of the tail being worn yet. It's about knee-length on me. It was actually quite a bit too long at first, and it took me a while to realize it! I was already done, and had just finished making numerous little tweaks and adjustments. I was finally happy and was taking a final look and said "Hey, that's awfully long. Well darn."

I spent all day trying to convince myself that it looked fiiiine, that I didn't need to worry, and that there was nothing to do to fix it anyway.

But eventually I decided to try to fix it. That was scary. I had to cut into the braided-yarn center, risking unraveling of the whole tail.

It took hours, but the length is way better, and actually, the whole tip of the tail was way better. More pics to follow eventually, and I'll get some links up to pictures of the other tails when I post again.

This is all yarn. Braided yarn center, with bundles of brushed and ironed yarn making up individual tufts of fur (you can imagine why this takes so long). The movement is nice and springy when I walk and the fur is very soft. It's nice to have my very own tail that didn't belong to any animals beforehand. xD It feels really nice to wear and is very light. There is black, tan (with a strand or two of darker tan), white, and three shades of grey in here!

Here's a picture of the underside - [link] The white extends a bit longer than I'd intended, but it looks pretty okay. There is some tan near the tip of the tail, too, as well as, as you can see in the first pic, a dark dorsal scent spot.

Made using Bir's method. If you're interested in having one of these yourself, you should see about commissioning her and Skahlly - [link]
