I am looking for a glue that holds to yarn.?
I use yarn to make toys that will be used or played with quite heavily. I have tried fabric glues of all types. I have tried Elmer's glue and glue sticks. I have tried Gorilla Glue too. I have actually tried everything I have found in any local store in the area.
Nothing holds when the yarn object is used in play.
Does anyone have any experience with yarn objects and gluing things on them? What have you used to keep them intact? So far the only thing I have found that works is hand stitching, but I want to use objects that can't be sewn or stitched on.
What I am making is puppets. The puppets don't get yanked on, but anything I have used in the way of glue so far will not hold. When you start using the puppet as you should the eyes, or what ever you glued comes off.
So I am needing to find a glue that will hold under this type of use.

I haven't found any glues that will hold items, for heavy play. Most all glues can be pulled off with enough pressure or strong pulling.
Is it possible for you to drill a small hole thru the item and sew them on. Shoot even a strong pull can cause breakage unless you are sewing with embroidery floss tripled. Heavy clear fishing line is strong, and very hard to break. I use that too.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

The only way to make a toy with yarn that is going to hold up is to knit or crochet it. Have you heard of AMIGURUMI?
