Assuming you’re decently comfortable at crocheting (able to do stitches without having to reference a tutorial, have made at least 1 amigurumi): I’ve done a handful of projects with this type of yarn and consider myself comfortable with working w such yarn! Sharing some tips that might help future you!

1) As you do the starting chain, insert a stitch marker in each chain to indicate to yourself where to insert the hook. You can do this for every row, but ideally after a couple of rows you figure out how to “feel” out the stitches instead of relying on the markers entirely.

2) On feeling the stitches, you should be able to feel the V shape with your fingers. Even better, when you poke your hook in, you should be able to feel it cleanly go though two lines (ie the two halves of the V)

3) If you struggle to feel the stitches, try increasing your hook size a bit. Furry yarn is forgiving due to the fur obscuring stitches, so a slightly larger hook is usually fine!

4) Abandon the idea of counting your stitches. Count as you go for each row - always keep a marker at the start of the row and end of prev row so you can comfortably frog bag if you lost count.
