Well, even though you can make amigurumi with any kind of yarn, here are 5 essential (but not mandatory) <strong>traits<\/strong> that amigurumi makers value when choosing yarns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.katia.com\/blog\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/amigurumi-yarns-100-cotton.jpg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"algod\u00f3n resistente fair cotton\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Easy to work with<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this mean? Preferably <strong>rounded yarns<\/strong>, with good twist to prevent the plies from splitting, which are <strong>lightweight and soft<\/strong> so that your crochet hook can flow easily. Although, if you really set your mind to it, you could probably make amigurumis with any kind of yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Resistant to wear and washing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a doubt, 100% cotton yarns are one of the best options to make long-lasting amigurumis. Especially if they are going to be for <strong>babies and children<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Wide color range<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The more colorful, the greater chance of <strong>creating everything you can imagine<\/strong>. Of course, you can make <em>monochrome <\/em>amigurumis\u2026 But it\u2019s more fun to dream in color!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.katia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Ebook-Amigurumi-Chenille-_ES_Pagina_29.jpg?w=1020&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. In stock<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yarns that will be in stock for several seasons and that are easy to find in-store or available at katia.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Affordable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And lastly, an important detail for fans of amigurumis: <strong>great value<\/strong>! Because you want to <strong>buy your yarn in all the colors<\/strong> to make your favorite amigurumi without feeling the financial effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, yarns for amigurumis are one of the <strong>keys to successfully achieving incredible results.<\/strong> Obviously, without forgetting about fun and creativity. We hope you enjoy making your next amigurumi with our <strong>recommended yarns<\/strong>.
