Yarns & Threads

Guide: Choosing the Right Cotton and Yarn for Crochet

Choosing the right amigurumi yarn or knitting thread is the most crucial step for the success of your creations. At Chat Crochet, we have selected a range of mercerized cottons and yarns renowned for their exceptional quality. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, our priority is to provide fibers that do not split, ensuring a clean finish and well-defined stitches.

Which yarn should you use for an Amigurumi? To achieve a professional result, mercerized cotton is the number one choice. Unlike classic wool, it doesn't "fuzz" and maintains perfect stitch definition, which is essential for the complex shapes of plushies. Our flagship references, such as Scheepjes Catona or DMC Natura Just Cotton, offer an infinite color palette and total safety (OEKO-TEX® and EN71-3 certifications) for nursery items and toys.

Care Instructions for Your Handmade Items The yarns we select are designed to last. We recommend hand washing or a delicate 30°C cycle to preserve the brightness of the colors. Using the correct hook size (usually 2.25mm or 2.5mm for amigurumis) ensures the stuffing stays securely inside and doesn't peek through the stitches.

Why order your supplies from Chat Crochet? In addition to our passion and expertise, we provide fast and reliable shipping from France. Every order is prepared with care, because we know that behind every ball of yarn, there is a creative project waiting to come to life.
