5 Tips to Remember While Choosing a Yarn for Amigurumi projects
We often receive questions about which types of yarns are best to make amigurumis. Well, even though you can make amigurumi with any kind of yarn, here are 5 essential (but not mandatory) traits that amigurumi makers value when choosing yarns.
- Easy to work with: What does this mean? Preferably rounded yarns, with good twist to prevent the plies from splitting, which are lightweight and soft 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.
- Resistant to wear and washing :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 babies and children.
- Wide color range: The more colorful, the greater chance of creating everything you can imagine. Of course, you can make monochrome amigurumis... But it’s more fun to dream in color!
- In stock: Yarns that will be in stock for several seasons and that are easy to find in-store or available at katia.com.
- Affordable: And lastly, an important detail for fans of amigurumis: great value! Because you want to buy your yarn in all the colors to make your favorite amigurumi without feeling the financial effects.
In short, yarns for amigurumis are one of the keys to successfully achieving incredible results. Obviously, without forgetting about fun and creativity. We hope you enjoy making your next amigurumi with our recommended yarns.
