can I use knitting yarn for needlepoint?

I need a lot of furry, fuzzy yarn for an item on my needlepoint project. For this only can I use a yarn they have at Michaels? It is for the collar, sleeves and hem of Santa's coat.

1. It should be fine. The only thing I would be worried about is the thickness of the yarn.
2. it depends on how thick the yarn is.
3. If you cannot find the right kind of yarn for your project e-mail me and I can give you information for a substitute.
4. If you are looking at a fingering weight fuzzy yarn you'd probably be ok, but DK weight yarn or thicker is going to distort the areas it is used in.
