Materials
You know what? This yarn is my favorite yarn for making most of my amigurumi toys. And this time is not an exception, I use this 4-ply yarn and buy it online easily on ETSY in this Canada-based shop, or this China-based shop. I use these colors: red/orange, brown, cream, black, white, and pink. Try with your favorite colors if you like. I’m also using hook size 2.3 mm and Hamanaka is one of my favorite brands, find and buy Hamanaka hook on ETSY.
Try with other sport weight yarns that you have been familiar with. I recommend using Yarnart Jeans as an alternate, buy online at the cheapest price here. Besides, you will need some extra kinds of stuff as follows:
- Scissors, pins, needles, stuffings.
- Pair of safety eyes: size 10 mm.
