I am sure many had attempt to make Groot. So happen I found some yarn that is quite woody like and gave it a try to see if it makes Groot look more like Groot. I used a 3mm hook and the yarn are made of several fine threads combined together. The one on the left was made with 5 ply cotton yarn, therefore appear slightly bigger.
