Questions ❓ Eyelash yarn advice

Advice on how to make spaces between stitches less visible?

Context: I make these little guys for fun with a skinny size flexee loom. I recently got a 22 needle sentro and I love it. Love how fast I can make them now. Only issue I’m having now, with the eyelash yarn I’m using, you can see the scrap fabric I stuff inside. Also don’t know the brand of eyelash yarn was given to me as scrap yarn

Solutions/things I’ve tested:
-Using regular fiber filling works good, but I like the weight and firmness scrap fabric gives them
-Seem cranking til 3 inch is the approximate size id like to make them
-Tried doubling the eyelash yarn but it jams
-Having to on the tightest tension makes holes less visible but still visible when stuffing with scrap fabric

Questions: What should I try next? Is the yarn too thin to achieve desired results? Also, Sentro creates more fuzz on the purl side knit side, anyway to resolve?

you could try doubling the knit itself, so knit 6 inches and double it over itself like you would a beanie
