Yarns for toy makers

Not every yarn behaves well in amigurumi. Toy making requires stitches to stay neat, shapes to hold, and the finished toy to withstand cuddling, washing and play.
That’s why the yarn selection here is intentionally small and carefully curated – every yarn has been tested in real toy making.

Cotton and organic cotton

The main focus is on cotton yarns, including organic cotton. Cotton creates clear stitches, keeps the toy’s shape and is safe for children. It’s an ideal choice for dolls, animals and baby toys that are handled daily.

Chenille yarns for extra cuddly toys

Soft chenille yarns are perfect for creating plush, huggable toys. They give a velvety texture and gentle appearance while still remaining durable enough for play when used correctly.

Wool and merino yarns

You’ll also find wool and merino yarns – a slightly unexpected but wonderful choice for toys. These fibers create a warm, rustic and Scandinavian look and feel, making each toy unique and full of character. They are especially loved in heirloom-style toys and natural nursery aesthetics.

Natural and special fibres

You’ll also find paper and hemp yarns – great for crocheting decorative baskets and accessories that complement handmade toys and children’s rooms.
