Tufts
I love the look and feel of tufted (aka thrummed) projects. Cozy mittens, fluffy hats and cowls, but I find the process of tufting to be laborious, when I’d rather just knit. By adding in tufts of fiber to the spinning process, I was able to create a yarn that creates a tufted fabric when knit!
If you’re not a spinner, you can place the tufts the conventional way as you knit along and get a similar result. Keep the placement random for the best effect.
