Amigurumi Yarns: cotton, chenille and assorted effect yarns

Q: Is chenille suitable for crocheting amigurumi?

Yes. Chenille yarn for amigurumi is a very popular option when you want a soft, plush feel, ideal for cuddly dolls and pieces with a velvety look. It is best to crochet it with tight stitches so the stuffing does not show through. For figures with very well-defined details, cotton still offers better definition, so many crocheters combine both fibres.

Q: Which yarns for amigurumi stand up best to use?

A good yarn for amigurumi is fine-weight cotton: it stands up best to use, washing and handling, which is why it is the most common choice for hard-wearing, well-defined figures. If you are looking for softness, add chenille, and for the details, effect yarns. All these options crochet up well, do not feel itchy and offer a wide variety of colours.

Q: Do you have yarn for amigurumi with ecological certification?

Yes. Within our selection, you will find organic cotton with GOTS certification and recycled cotton options, as well as fibres with Oeko-Tex certification, which checks for the absence of harmful substances. They are a good choice of yarn for children’s amigurumi. You can see more options in our collection of yarns with GOTS certification.

Q: Which yarn format is best for crocheting amigurumi: individual balls or mini balls?

Both individual balls and mini balls work very well for these figures, depending on the size of the project and the number of colours you need. Mini balls are practical for small pieces with lots of colour changes, while an individual ball goes further for larger figures. Here you will find yarns and balls for amigurumi in both formats.

At Garmon Yarns, we bring together a wide selection of yarns for amigurumi for crocheting figures, dolls and small accessories. You will find cotton in different qualities (mercerised, combed, organic and recycled), as well as soft chenille and options with effects such as sparkle, neon or glow-in-the-dark. These are fibres with good stitch definition and a wide variety of colours, ideal for hard-wearing projects with well-defined details. You can choose between individual balls and mini balls, in fine weights that are comfortable for crochet, and get your next project ready.

Amigurumi yarns: cotton, chenille and effect yarns

The most common yarn for making amigurumi is mainly cotton, the most widely used fibre thanks to its firmness and stitch definition, alongside soft-touch chenille and qualities with effects (metallic, neon or glow-in-the-dark). We bring together more than 40 references from different brands, many with Oeko-Tex certification and options with GOTS certification.

Mercerised and combed cotton provide shine and a smooth surface that shows off every stitch beautifully; organic and recycled versions add a more sustainable approach. Chenille, soft and plush, is perfect for dolls with a pleasant feel, while effect yarns add fluorescent colour or details that glow in the dark. If you prefer to choose by material, you can explore our yarns by composition.

Which yarn should you choose for crocheting amigurumi?

For a firm amigurumi with good stitch definition, cotton yarn for amigurumi is the most recommended option, in fine weights such as DK or sport. If you are looking for a softer feel, chenille works very well, and for details, effect yarns add that distinctive touch.

Within cotton, you will find mercerised, combed, certified organic and recycled qualities, all with a wide variety of colours for the smallest details, such as eyes, muzzles or clothing. Cotton yarn for amigurumi crochets up well, does not feel itchy and is comfortable for pieces that are handled a lot, including those for little ones. You can see all the options in our cotton yarn collection.
