Crochet Hooks
Amigurumi typically requires crochet hooks between 3mm and 4.5mm. Check the yarn label for the recommended hook size. We offers two types of hooks.

Darning Needle
Ideal for sewing pieces together. The Darning Needle Set (Art No.339) is compatible with a range of yarn thicknesses.

Stitch Markers
When crocheting in the round, stitch markers make it easier to identify the beginning of each round.

Scissors
Choose fine-pointed scissors suitable for detailed work.

Patchwork Scissors(Mini)

Thimbles
Flexible Rubber Thimbles (Art No.6031/6032) are perfect for stitching and embroidery, allowing you to grip the needle securely.

Awls
Useful for creating holes when attaching safety eyes or other accessories.

Yarn Threaders
Durable and easy to use with lace yarns or fancy threads.

Craft Tweezers
Ensure even stuffing distribution by reaching tight spaces with precision.

Yarn Thickness
Yarn is categorized by thickness from Lace to Jumbo. Beginners should opt for medium-weight yarn, as it is easier to handle.

Yarn Types

  • Straight Yarn: Consistent thickness and texture, available in various colors.
  • Mohair: Natural fibers with a fluffy texture.
  • Fancy Yarn: Unique textures and colors for creative designs.

Yarn Labels
Labels provide essential information, including recommended hook sizes, color codes, and lot numbers. Always pull the yarn from the center of the skein for smooth usage and keep the label attached.
