The regular, round yarn has a dense chenille structure, giving it an elegant matte sheen. The result is incredible!
Soft to the touch, this chenille yarn goes perfectly with Rico Design's amigurumi cotton yarns.
The format of this ball of wool is very practical(small ball of 25 grams), the ideal size for crocheting these adorable little figurines.
What's an Amigurumi?
It literally means "stuffed knitted toy". It's the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small animals and anthropomorphic creatures. Amigurumi are more often seen crocheted than knitted.
