Opry Animal Nose Whiskers for Amigurumi

To assemble, place the piece between the fabric and the plastic nose; insert the nose stem through the central hole in the plate and secure inside with its washer. This placement keeps the five whiskers on each side aligned and helps the muzzle remain symmetrical. It’s the recommended method for amigurumi whiskers with safety noses, easy to repeat if you are making several toys.

For a stable result, check that the stitches are tight around the stem before locking the washer. The Opry animal nose whiskers for amigurumi act as a spacer between the fabric and the nose, preventing the material from slipping when tightened. With a good fabric density, the set stays firm without extra reinforcements.

There are six lengths (59–112 mm), and compatibility depends not only on the length but also on the size of the central plate, which determines which nose diameters they fit. As a guideline, usual matches are 59 mm with 9 mm noses, 63 mm with 12 mm, 75 mm with 15–18 mm, 83/88 mm with 20–24 mm, and 112 mm with 28 mm.

Choose based on the scale of the face and the visual effect you want. On small toys, short whiskers focus the expression; on medium and large toys, longer ones balance the proportions. If in doubt between two sizes, test them dry on the fabric before final assembly. This way, the Opry animal nose whiskers for amigurumi will be well matched to the nose diameter.

Yes. Although designed to be used with a plastic nose and washer, you can sew the plate onto the fabric for reinforcement or, if the design requires, use it without a nose. Stitch around the base so it sits flat, avoiding too much tension that could distort the muzzle. It’s a useful option when you prefer a softer finish or do not use safety parts.

If you choose sewing as the main method, plan the placement carefully to keep symmetry on both sides. In projects intended for adult display or decoration, sewing the Opry animal nose whiskers for amigurumi allows you to adjust the angle precisely. If you later add a safety nose, you can use the central hole as a guide to realign the set.

They are made of black plastic, designed to add contrast and a neat outline around the muzzle, both on crochet and knitted pieces. The colour stands out well against light and mid-toned fibres, and adds definition in product photos or posts. Plus, with five whiskers per side aligned on a plate, they maintain regular spacing with no extra effort.

Aesthetically, they work especially well with black or pink plastic noses, as the shine of the set reinforces the integrated look. If you work with fluffy yarns or mohair, gently brush the area around the muzzle before attaching the Opry animal nose whiskers for amigurumi; the result looks clearer and the animal’s expression is better defined.

At Garmonyarns you can buy them individually, which lets you choose exactly the length each project needs without stocking up on extras. This is practical if you make occasional amigurumi or small variations, as you can match your purchase to your materials list and test different proportions before repeating a model.

When preparing batches, workshops, or simply wanting all sizes to hand, a set with the six lengths is useful. Opry offers a pack of 120 units (20 of each size) compatible with safety noses in several diameters – ideal for keeping stock of black whiskers for soft toys. You can combine both options: buying singles for current projects and packs for seasonal planning.

They are designed for amigurumi and soft toys crocheted or knitted. They work very well on cats, mice, dogs, and other animals where whiskers define the expression. If you usually work with combed cotton or smooth acrylic, the contrast is immediate; with yarns with halo, a light tidy-up of fibres around the muzzle improves the finish.

They also combine with creative sewing when the muzzle is made of felt or fabric. The plate with a central hole and washer makes it easy to integrate the Opry animal nose whiskers for amigurumi with safety plastic noses, keeping alignment on both sides. For decoration or photography projects, the black adds clarity at a distance and consistency across pieces in a series.
