If the amigurumi has safety eyes or sewn-on pieces, place it in a laundry bag to protect it. Allow it to dry completely before storing it so the filling does not retain moisture.</p></div>

Are all the colours solid?

<div class="faq-answer"><p>Yes. All the colours are solid, with no marled effect or shade changes within the ball. You will find whites and natural shades, greys, earth tones, pastels and bright colours.

What is Sensy Natural Cotton Baby?

Natural Cotton Baby is a 100% recycled cotton Sport weight yarn, supplied in 50 g balls with approximately 130 metres. It has a twisted strand with a matt finish and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certification. It is made in Turkey and designed for amigurumi and baby projects.

It is part of the Sensy yarn range, a Turkish brand that certifies its yarns with Oeko-Tex. At Garmon Yarns, we stock it in solid colours, from whites and natural shades to pastels, earth tones and brighter colours, so you can combine them easily.

Why choose recycled cotton for amigurumi?

Natural Cotton Baby brings together three qualities that are especially useful for small toys: well-defined stitches thanks to its twist, a matt appearance that looks very natural in photos, and a soft feel for play. It also makes use of fibre that already existed, reducing the need for new cotton.

With a 3 mm crochet hook, the fabric is denser and the stuffing does not show between the stitches. If you prefer a slightly more flexible fabric, move up to 3.5 mm. It is an easy yarn to work with, so it is also a good option if you are just starting out. If you are interested in this type of material, take a look at our collection of recycled fibres.

Is this recycled cotton suitable for babies?

Yes. It is a recycled cotton yarn for babies with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certification (number 16.HTR.77775, Hohenstein HTTI). Class I is the strictest Oeko-Tex category: it applies to articles for babies and children up to 3 years old that are in continuous contact with the skin.

That is why this Oeko-Tex recycled cotton yarn is suitable for booties, hats and cardigans, as well as comfort blankets or crocheted rattles. And if it is suitable for a baby, it is also suitable for garments for any age. You will find more safe options in our selection of yarns for babies.

What can you make with Natural Cotton Baby?

The ball label recommends this yarn for knitting and crochet, with particular emphasis on amigurumi, crafts and everything related to babies: clothing, blankets and accessories. Its Sport weight creates fine, neat pieces, and its matt appearance works equally well for toys and garments.

▷ Amigurumi, dolls and crocheted keyrings
▷ Baby clothes: booties, hats, cardigans and bibs
▷ Blankets and comfort blankets
▷ Baby accessories: rattles, dummy clips and small toys
▷ Punch needle, one of the uses stated on the label
▷ Crafts and decoration: small baskets, coasters or ornaments

How many balls do you need for your project?

On the official Natural Cotton Baby page, the brand provides an approximate estimate of 50 g balls according to the type of project. Use it as a starting point: the actual quantity depends on the size, pattern, tension and whether you are knitting or crocheting. For a more accurate estimate, use the ball calculator on this page.

▷ Hat: 4 balls
▷ Scarf: 5 balls
▷ Pair of socks: 4 balls
▷ Shawl: 5 balls
▷ Baby blanket: 11 balls
▷ Adult jumper: 19 balls
▷ Large blanket: 27 balls

If you are making a sized garment, buy all the balls in the same colour at the same time. This helps ensure the shade remains identical from start to finish.

How should projects made with this cotton yarn be cared for?

You can wash your projects at a maximum of 30 °C and always dry them flat. The label states that bleach should not be used, they should not be tumble dried and they should not be ironed. Professional dry cleaning with any solvent except trichloroethylene is also permitted. With this care, your amigurumi and baby garments will retain their shape and colour.

A tip: shape the piece while it is still damp and leave it to dry on a towel, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Why buy this cotton yarn from Garmon Yarns?

At Garmon Yarns, we import this brand directly from Turkey, so we work with this cotton yarn every day and know how it behaves on the needles and hook. If you are unsure about colours, whether to use knitting needles or a crochet hook, or how many balls to order, write to us: we will help you choose the right option for your next project.
