Curly Yarn Wrapped Dreads?!
Thought it was neat and wanted to share.
They are a bit stiff due to the yarn wrap but I think would make cute falls or a wig.

Re: Curly Yarn Wrapped Dreads?!
Its just your average run of the mill yarn.
It was left over from a crochet project.

The dreads are synthetic hair dreads. Its a double end'er with one side wrapped with yarn.

Re: Curly Yarn Wrapped Dreads?!
Glad you all like it!
I just tied the yarn tight at the ends and then lightly burned them with a lighter.
I picked the idea up from people wrapping real dreads.
These were originally straight and worn once for Burning Man. I made a curly dread tutorial by curling the set after washing them and I had two of these bad boys so I tried the same method and curled them. Its a bit harder to curl then like this.

Re: Curly Yarn Wrapped Dreads?!
That's a cool idea! Even if they are a bit stiff, it would be nice for a few accents. I know when i had natural dreads and i wrapped them with thread and stuff, they would be stiff for a few days then soften up with wear. especially in the summer when i was swimming a lot.
