| The yarn "Tilda" from Svarta Fåret with the hook size 2,5 mm. |
As you may know, how your amigurumi turns out is much depended upon the yarn you're using. I always go with the yarn "
Tilda", from Svarta Fåret. I can't see an amigurumi turning out better with any other yarn. The "secret" about this yarn is that it is 50% cotton and 50% acrylic,
which makes it the
Harry fucking Potter of amigurumi yarns - stretchable
but still firm. This is a key stone to amigurumi making. You'll need a
yarn that is bendibale, but firm, and a 50/50-yarn will do the trick. All of the amigurumis on this page are made with this yarn (and no, this is not a commercial - I really don't know the yarn-people, I just like the yarn!).
This is an image on how this particular yarn looks like in row 2 of all of my amigurumis (which mirrors row 2, after the magic circle): 2 sc in each st = 12 sts:
Hope this will guide you regarding the size of the yarn you're using. May the force be with you.
