For amigurumi, the most recommended DROPS yarns are the 100% cotton options: combed Egyptian cotton and rustic cotton. They offer a matt, firm finish that defines the stitches and helps prevent the stuffing from showing through. For small amigurumi, choose finer-weight yarns (50 g = 160 m); for larger pieces, choose thicker yarns (50 g = 75 m). Filter this collection by cotton composition to see all the options.

What is DROPS yarn and what makes the Garnstudio brand unique?
DROPS yarn consists of balls for knitting, crochet and amigurumi made by DROPS Garnstudio, a Norwegian brand with over 40 years of experience and international distribution. DROPS yarn stands out for combining traceable natural fibres (Egyptian cotton, Peruvian alpaca, virgin wool) with competitive prices and a library of over 120,000 free patterns available online.
These are the features that set the brand apart from other yarn brands on the market:
- ▷ Genuine fibre traceability: combed Egyptian cotton, superfine Peruvian alpaca, untreated virgin wool and Angora goat mohair with silk. Each yarn range states its geographical origin and composition in its technical sheet.
- ▷ Classification by yarn weight groups (A–F): DROPS organises its yarns by recommended tension, from lace (group A) to super bulky (group F), making it easier to substitute between yarns from the same brand.
- ▷ Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification in most ranges, suitable for sensitive skin and children’s garments.
- ▷ Garnstudio library of free patterns: over 120,000 knitting and crochet designs in Spanish, with tutorial videos by yarn reference, available on the official website.
- ▷ More than 50 active yarn ranges across winter wools and summer cottons.
