Many amigurumi makers choose pure cotton yarn for their amigurumi. They want the softest and purest choices for little ones – items that parents and makers can both feel good about. But what if you want to take it a step further and source organic cotton yarn?

Are you looking for an affordable and widely available cotton yarn for your amigurumi? Check out my review for Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton to see if it checks your boxes.
This yarn is the cotton version of Hobby Lobby’s popular acrylic I Love This Yarn (ILTY). With a wide range of solid and variegated colors, I Love This Cotton is an easy choice for amigurumi! But how does it hold up? Keep reading for my review!
In this yarn review I check out a workhorse by WeCrochet: Comfy Worsted. How will it perform for amigurumi?
My go-to yarn for making amigurumi is usually 100% cotton or a cotton/acrylic blend from a big-name yarn store. The pros are many: it’s easy to find, it’s cheap, and the color range is vast. But there’s another choice out there for amigurumi: hand-dyed yarn.
Ever walk into the yarn aisle and become paralyzed by all the options? Which yarn is best for amigurumi?
Yarn choice matters when it comes to amigurumi. You want your amigurumi to stand the test of time, withstand the play of children, and to look amazing! If you ask the Internet you’ll get a billion different answers and hear, “Whatever’s in your stash! You can use any yarn!”
And it’s true. You COULD use any yarn. But I’m going to make myself unpopular and say that you might not want to.
Have you ever dyed yarn? Me either! You have? Do tell! I had no idea there was such a robust indie yarn-dyeing scene until I fell down the rabbit hole of Instagram. And let me tell you, that is one gorgeous speckled and hued rabbit hole!
Below are some of my favorite U.S. dyers to stalk. The yarn isn’t cheap but it’s small-batch and unique – nothing like what you get from a big box store. I usually see crocheters and knitters using wool like this for wearables like hats and shawls but I don’t see why you couldn’t use it for amigurumi. Your project would sure stand out from the rest!
