I remember seeing that and wanting to try it, I haven't yet though.
Looks really neat.

A yarn wig for Zoltan with crochet thread and a very fine but fuzzy yarn.

I have used this tutorial myself. For really nice yarn wigs I love using Lionbrand Microspun.

Redheart yarn.

I spin my own yarn and plan on making a custom designed yarn wig. Natural Alpaca. (brown shades)

I like the texture on the blue :)

Jo Ann stores, and some Michaels, carry selections of Fun Fur and other brands of eyelash yarn. I was just looking for Muppet colors and there's decent color choice. What I think might be useful for wig making is the fine sock weight which seems to be everywhere and a lace weight.
