How to Safely Use Yarn to Knit or Crochet Cat Toys

This video will discuss how to safely use yarn to loom knit, needle knit or crochet cat toys and what yarns are good "cat-friendly" yarns. I have created thousands of loom-knitted cat toys and am the author of Knitting for Kittens: Learn to Loom Knit by Making 25 Cat Toys, which is available on Amazon. I will discuss the dangers of yarn and why toys made with yarn can be made safe for your cats. And I will give suggestions on how to test yarn before making cat toys as well as tell you what yarns I have used that have been proven strong enough to hold up to cats. But remember that every cat and every toy is different. ALWAYS monitor your cat when giving it a new toy, either homemade or purchased.
