Why choose YarnArt Samba?
  • Shiny Eyelash Yarn: Samba is a 100% polyester eyelash yarn, 150 m per 100 g and rated Medium (4) by YarnArt. A twisted core carries soft, glossy fibers that turn plain stitches into a furry, light-catching fabric.
  • Fluffiest in Garter: Knitters find it easier than crochet, where stitches vanish into the fringe. Garter stitch shows the most fluff; in stockinette the fibers settle on the purl side, which you can use as the right side.
  • Trims, Toys and Collars: Use it for collars, cuffs, slipper and mitten trims, or plush toy bodies held with a plain strand. Wash gently at 30°C without wringing, since wet Samba stretches, then dry flat.
Description

YarnArt Samba – Decorative Faux Fur Effect Yarn

YarnArt Samba is a decorative long pile yarn designed to add a rich, furry texture to your projects. This 100% polyester yarn features shiny fibers that create a realistic faux fur effect when knitted or crocheted. It is the number one choice for creating fluffy details for Amigurumi toys, festive holiday decor, or eye-catching trims on cardigans and scarves.

💡 Mix & Match: For better structure and easier crafting, hold a strand of Samba together with a matching plain yarn like YarnArt Jeans. This makes the stitches easier to see and adds durability.

Why choose this decorative yarn?

  • Instant Texture: The long fibers instantly transform simple stitches into a rich, fluffy fabric, making it excellent for beginners as it hides uneven tension perfectly.
  • Vibrant Shine: The fibers catch the light, giving your toys and accessories a lively, professional finish that stands out.
  • Creative Freedom: Whether you are making a fluffy pillow, a Santa beard, or a glamorous evening bolero, this yarn adapts to both fun and fancy projects.

TIPS & TRICKS

Pro Tip: For toys, crochet Samba together with a smooth yarn such as YarnArt Jeans Plus: the second strand shows your stitches and firms the fabric. Test dark shades next to white before you start, as one maker had navy rub off onto a white yarn while knitting.

FAQ

Here are some answers that might help.

About Product

Is YarnArt Samba good for amigurumi?

Yes, for fluffy toys, manes, beards and hair. Fur hides facial features, so fit safety eyes before stuffing and trim the fibres around each eye so it shows clearly. Use simple shapes with few colour changes. For children under 3, use locking safety eyes or embroider the eyes, and stitch every part on securely.

How do I make a Santa beard with Samba?

Crochet a small crescent or triangle in white Samba, then sew it below the mouth on a Santa toy, ornament or stocking. Keep the piece a little smaller than the finished beard you want, because the long fibres spread out once it is sewn on. Ease them free with your fingers or a soft brush.

How many balls of Samba for a scarf?

Usually 1–2 balls. A narrow scarf of about 150 × 12 cm in worsted-weight eyelash yarn typically takes 150–250 m, and each 100 g ball of Samba holds 150 m. Larger needles make a lighter, airier scarf and stretch the yarn further; a wider or longer scarf needs a second ball.

YarnArt Samba vs Rumba: what's the difference?

Both are worsted-weight polyester eyelash yarns for 5.5 mm needles. Samba is 100% polyester with glossy fibres, 150 m per 100 g, in 27 shades for toys, trims and collars. YarnArt Rumba adds 20% metallic fibre for bold sparkle, 160 m per 100 g in 6 shades, better for festive trims and decorations.
