What is the best yarn for Amigurumi?

Crochet lovers often love to make Amigurumi as a gift for their children, grandchildren, or other small loved ones. Most people will choose soft yarns, but using soft yarns can make it difficult for you to make beautiful amigurumi items. It is often difficult to hook and create shapes for it.

For crochet amigurumi, the best yarn for Amigurumi for this case is acrylic, semi-cotton, and cotton yarn. These types of yarns are stiff enough to hold the pattern’s shape but also flexible enough to create its details. It will be easy to control so you can make more beautiful Amigurumi items.

100% cotton yarn

Pure cotton yarns are suitable for Amigurumi because they are tightly knitted. As a result, this yarn is perfect for crochet toys that children will use. Furthermore, the texture of the yarn also holds the shape of the amigurumi pattern very well. This type of yarn is the best yarn for Amigurumi projects like the following designs where you can find out more yarn properties and free crochet patterns made with this 100% cotton yarn.

Semi-cotton yarn

Since this yarn has a lower percentage of cotton, the semi-cotton yarn is lighter than 100% cotton. This yarn is also super easy to care for. If your amigurumi gets dirty, you can put it in the washing machine without worrying about its quality.

Acrylic yarn

Although they are one of the cheapest yarns available on the market, acrylic yarns still make great crochet plush toys. If you are on a budget, this is the best yarn for your Amigurumi project. Like semi-cotton yarn, this type of yarn is machine washable. However, acrylic yarn can be difficult to use for amigurumi. If the stitches aren’t tight enough, the shape can pull out easily, and, as a result, you can’t crochet fine details.

Final thought, I suggest you should use 100% cotton or semi-cotton yarn if you want to make a beautiful plush toy.
