Red Heart has just come out with a new yarn that made me squeal. Amigurumi is the perfect one-skein type of yarn to create the cutest little amigurumi figures.
Let's start from the beginning if you're unsure of what amigurumi is. Amigurumi is a Japanese art of creating little stuffed creatures and characters that are knit or crocheted; ami means crocheted or knitted while nuigurumi means stuffed doll. Not only are these little things adorable as can be, but now Red Heart has the yarn to make them!
Each skein contains 4 colors within it and you can create 2 creatures out of each skein. All colors and patterns are interchangeable and you can either come up with your own designs or create the 2 pictured on the yarn. There are 12 character designs in all including unicorns, narwhals, mermaids, dinosaurs, llamas and more. I especially love the tiny little elephants with their cute little hats on.
Made of 100% acrylic, this super fine yarn is perfect to create these adorable creatures. Give them as birthday gifts to small children or wrap them up for a sweet baby shower gift. Once you make one, you'll want to make them all.
