Popular Yarns I Will NEVER Use to Crochet Amigurumi Toys! (+ NEW Favorites)

[@peglamphier4745]

The thing about Amazon is generally the shipping costs are folded into the price. When I've done the math I've found the yarn prices comparable because shipping prices can be high at yarn sites. And thanks Elise. You worked hard on this and had a ton of good info.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Yes! It's good to do some comparisons to get the best price! ❤️🧶🧸🤓

[@little_renatinha]

I'm so glad to see the Brazilian yarn being compared to all the others - and getting an excellent grade! Círculo has more amigurumi yarns in different textures, my favorite is the "pelucia" one, which feels like chenille and is great for plushies. Thank you for the video!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely going to check them out! 🧶

[@Tish_Ann77]

I bought Yarn Art Jeans based on your recommendation and immediately fell in love. I'm not using it for amigurumi, I'm making a wearable with it and it is AMAZING!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That is soooo good to know! I'm so glad you love it as much as I do! ❤️🧶🤓

[@telalong5254]

thank you thank you thank you! as a real beginner to amigumi (it took me a whole week to make a magic circle '0). you, elise, are my *go to*....warmest regards.

I'm so happy you are enjoying your amigurumi journey! 🧶❤️🧸

I love your yarn review type videos bc I know you're going to be totally honest with us. The grading system and GPA idea was great!!! Sometimes I'm amazed by all the different yarn brands I've never even heard of lol

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful! 😁🧶🧸

[@yeeterita]

Just wanted to point out that Scheepjes is a Dutch brand, and we don't use the "weight" measurement here in the Netherlands, so that might just be the company's mistake on the Catona yarn haha

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Oh interesting! 🤔 Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️🧶🧸🤓

[@armellec.4101]

​@@EliseRoseCrochetAgree we don't use: nr 2,3 etc nor fine, bulky... It's stg we discover on YT. Also we use grams and meters so we don't have a clue when you say yards or Oz. 😉

[@mdb3090]

I'am glad, you are back.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@UnravelledRibbons]

My favourite yarn for amigurumi is Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/4. It is such great quality and soft cotton, has an easy start tab which I love, and it is honestly SO AFFORDABLE. Not to mention the absolutely vast colour selection For me, it ticks all the boxes.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Yes! That is a fantastic yarn! I reviewed different Hobbii yarns recently and love that easy start tab!! ❤️🧶🤓🧸

[@armellec.4101]

I like Friends too but I prefer YarnArt jeans for amigurumis.

[@pemo619]

Hi! Just wanted to share that you inspired me to pick up knitting! Been crocheting for a year or so, and now I'm making my first knitting project, some hand warmers for my aunt. She gets painful white fingers whenever it gets cold, so I'm making them big enough for her to cover her fingers whenever they get cold, but still be able to use her phone and stuff.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's wonderful! It's so nice being able to switch between crochet and knitting! ❤️🧶🤓

[@carolsnyder7778]

LOVED the comment and picture of George Costanza when you mentioned “shrinkage”!!! Cracked me up😂😂😂

[@charbird20]

I haven’t found a yarn I prefer yet, but I love bamboo yarn! It’s so soft and natural! Before I found it at Michael’s, I had no idea you could make yarn out of bamboo. I loved it so much that I’m making an LSU-themed baby blanket out of it for my cousin 🥰

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That's wonderful! It's great to experiment to find what works best for you! ❤️🧶🧸🤓

[@Rozelynn8040]

Very comprehensive review. Thank you very much. I tend to think people that keep their own Ami projects when completed get more heavily into what type of yarn they use, and rightly so. Those who make Ami toys for use know they most likely won’t be treated as display toys, so don’t worry about the yarn too much. Personally, I use HL “I Love This Cotton.” It is soft, not hard on the hands, the sts keep their shape and it stuffs easily without distorting or stretching. (All in my opinion) Thank you for introducing new yarn possibilities out there!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you so much! I've heard so many great things about that yarn! ❤️🧶🧸🤓

[@brigitatomasovic3663]

I use mostly jeans from yarn art but... lately I discover 100% cotton buttery, amazing stitch definition yarn and its Mondial basic cotton... it is amazing. I get joints pain a lot and this yarn is kind to my hands.. just love it

Ooh! Thanks for sharing! I'll have to check it out! ❤️🧶🧸

[@KJcrochet469]

My personal favorite is big twist unpopular opinion, but it’s a great price and I like the feel

I think the most important thing is to find the best yarn for you! If you love it, who cares what others think! ❤️🧶🧸🤓

[@samzalak4849]

Hey Elise, Wonderful to see a comparison on amigurumi yarns! I have used Scheepjes catona and stone washed several times, absolutely love the yarn for all the reasons you mention.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

They are both amazing yarns for amigurumi! ❤️🧶🧸

[@cottagekeeper1044]

My favorite yarn is drops baby Merino. I order from wool warehouse in the UK they charge me about seven dollars for shipping a bag about the size of a pillowcase full of yarn. It’s on sale so I’m contemplating buying some more. Not that I need it 😂 I live Eastern North Carolina so I don’t have a lot of access to high-end yarn unless I order it. The thing I really like about the drops baby merino is it is beautifully soft and has an elasticity to the fiber which doesn’t cause me hand and arm pain. I also like cascade Heritage yarn. It is beautifully soft as well, and I can find it about an hour away. I hope you have a lovely weekend.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks for sharing your favorite yarns! I’ll have to check those out. ❤️🧶🧸

[@karensample3052]

Good video today Elise! I have lots of the scheepies Catina that I bought from Lovecraft and use it mainly for the little knitted pocket buddies. I’m going to try the yarn arts jeans because I’ve seen other pattern makers use it a lot , as well as you, my primary favorite source of information ☺️👍🏼🧡

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Oh how sweet! ❤️ I haven't found a yarn yet that I like more for crochet amigurumi. It's so versatile, soft and comes in soooo many colors! 🧶🧸🤓

[@karensample3052]

[@kathycostello4104]

Elise, I shivered when I realized this was all about Cotton yarn...I hope your hands were ok. I sympathize with having hand pain when working tiny stitches into amigurumi using cotton. Also, you have used Happy Place, cotton wool, yes? I need something similar due to Hobbii being out of the ivory color...any suggestions? Off to put some Jeans yarn in my cart....thanks for a great review.

$4.54usd 142yards Scheepjes Stone washed at Wool Warehouse. I love it so much I buy it there for $6+Cdn 😁

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you for sharing!! It's a gorgeous yarn! ❤️🧶🧸

[@peglamphier4745]

I made a cardigan out of that yarn and it was delightful to work with. And such pretty colors.

I adore Scheejes Stonewashed for all my crocheting, not just amigurumi. But it is costly.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It's a gorgeous yarn! ❤️🧶🤓🧸

[@annahoglund2167]

One of my absolut favourit yarns are Softfun from Scheepjes. I think it is very similar to Yarnart jeans. It has over 90 colors and is a blend with 60 % cotton and 40% acrylic.

[@suzettefaircloth5037]

I really missed you this past week. I hope everything is okay. I love watching your content and you are so nice without being prissy.

Thanks for your kind words! 🥰 my mom was under the weather and needed my help so I had to take the week off! 🧶🧸❤️

[@shannonoliver5414]

YarnArt Jeans is my favorite for amigurumi. It has a slight stretch to it, due to the acrylic, and doesn’t hurt my fingers like 100% cotton does. 😊

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Yes! That's one of my favorite features! ❤️🧶🤓🧸

[@gondebrabander8709]

My number 1 for amigurumi is Scheepjes Stonewashed. Sometimes in combination with Scheepjes Softfun. In the Netherlands the prices are better and I try to buy as much as possible in the sale. I love your test ❤❤

I really enjoy and appreciate your yarn reviews. Your grading system is fair. I seldom do amigurmi (sp) or use #1 & #2 weight yarns. But i LOVE cotton and cotton blend yarns. One i discovered in Spring 2024 is Willow yarns Meadow. I get it through Herrschner's. Another is Herrschner's Cottage Cotton. I use a wide variety of others but LOVE the two i mentioned. Thank you Elise! You "make" my Saturday mornings, lol!

Thanks Elise, this was really helpful. I love Catona and have used it loads. My other go-to for amigurumi is King Cole Cottonsoft. It has loads of colours and while being 100% cotton is beautifully soft and would challenge Jeans for softness. I adore using it!

Most times here in Indonesia we use small ply soft cotton, milk cotton in several plies, acrylic, chenille and towel yarn. I usually using milk cotton in 3 or 5 ply bcs most times I made keychain amigurumi, it's soft, easy to crochet and I can change the ply if I want to make something smaller/bigger. I don't like small ply soft cotton bcs the amigurumi ended up stiff and hard, not squeeze-able.

[@emrooker]

I've tried DK and Worsted for amigurumi and I prefer the Worsted. I can't imagine using a sport or fine weight yarn for amigurumi. Also I think my eyes appreciate a bigger yarn. So far also I've preferred acrylic to cotton for the bodies. If I do clothing for amigurumi that is when I do like using the finer yarns and also get into wool, cotton, acrylic, or blends.

I’ve knitted 3 summer tees, in Drops Muskat, and I couldn’t agree more, it splits while working with it. The garments I’ve made, are heavier than any other, I’ve made with cotton yarn.

Personally I just use some random acrylic yarn (i think its called Mellissa?) that's 1,75€ for 100g at every chinese convenience store near me (I live in spain, for context), and I've never tried anything else. I'd try other fibers and brands, but I can't justify dropping that much money (compared to what I'm used to) on a bunch of yarn that I don't even know I'll like. So, videos like these are really useful, since I will feel more confident when I finally go ahead and try something new. Love your vids!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I'm so glad it's helpful! I'm happy to do the testing and save you some money! ❤️🧶🧸🤓

[@designergirlx]

If you want to try more Drops, I'd try Saffron for amigurumi (it's a matt cotton). I also find Muskat "annoying" to crochet with due to the splitting.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Do you ever review plush yarn? I'd love to hear your opinions on the newer Michaels Loops and Threads Petite Purl and Skinny Chenille yarns.

I'm a doctor, she's an attorney, and we're both RBG fans). I purchased some Hobbii Friends, so I'm interested to find out if that's going to be a good choice of yarn for my first amigurumi doll.

I haven't tried the plus version yet, but I definitely will! ❤️🧶🧸🤓

[@madisonheise]

I don’t love making amigurumi. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it makes my hands flare up. The only time I’ve made it is for family that have asked for it and it seems like the kids always want stuff made with blanket yarn which I don’t enjoy using and it makes my flare ups worse than using acrylic. The only cotton I’ve used for Ami is K+C cotton from Joann’s which was fine but even with a small hook it left a lot of gaps. But I got to a point where I hated making Ami and would take forever to finish gifts so I told my family that I no longer will make stuffies. (My niece is the only exception because she prefers them with acrylic and doesn’t mind a long wait time)

Would you be interested in making a video about your favorite yarns for knitting? I love your crochet comparisons and trust your opinion. It seems harder to find good, affordable yarn for knitting as a beginner!

i dont know what a gpa is?? can someone explain?

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It's a grade point average. 4.0 is perfect! ❤️❤️❤️

I’m still using your old school recommendation - Berroco Vintage, but probably will switch over to the Yarn Art Jeans. I wish they sold it in the USA though.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

They are both fantastic yarns! It would be nice for it to be locally sold! ❤️🧶🤓🧸

Scheepjes is pronounced SHEEP-EEZ

This isn't a criticism, but amigurumi looks like toys for children. 🙂

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It is! I enjoy making it so much! 🧶❤️🧸🤓

your reviewing yarn that you can't buy at Joann's, Hobby lobby, Michael or Walmart which is where most of us buy yarn.👎

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I decided to review yarns that I see a lot of amigurumi designers using so that we can decide if it's right for us. I primarily buy yarn online and I think a lot of others do as well. 🧶🧸🤓

Love this video!! I’m just starting a little crocheted pug toy using Yarn Art Jeans. 🐶🩷 What size hook would you recommend? Thank you for this great video!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Oh how cute!!!!! ❤️ I use a 2.5 mm hook with YarnArt Jeans! 🧶🧸🤓

[@kendallprice2676]

Wonderful! Thank you for your reply! I’m getting right to it!
