Yarn for Amigurumi

This page gathers the amigurumi yarns under Threads: Hello Baby Love chenille 25 g (velvet texture, plush look), YarnArt Jeans 50 g, Gazzal Baby Cotton and Hello Cotton (tightly twisted cotton-acrylics with crisp stitches). In amigurumi the yarn is worked tight enough to hide the stuffing, with a hook one size smaller than the yarn calls for. The detailed guide is in Amigurumi Crochet Yarn, kits in Amigurumi Kits, stuffing in Fibrefill, all knitting yarn in Hand Knitting Yarn.

Which Yarn for Which Amigurumi?

Chenille for plush toys and babies (4–5 mm hook, mistakes do not show); Jeans and Baby Cotton for sharply detailed characters (2.5–3 mm hook); Hello Cotton for small figures and keyrings. A 15 cm amigurumi takes 1 ball, a 30 cm chenille toy 3–4 balls; safety eyes and fibrefill are bought separately.
