As you know, Amigurumi (ami, crocheted; and nuigurumi, stuffed doll) is a technique originating in Japan, which consists of crocheting small dolls. This technique is becoming increasingly popular; amigurumis are ideal for children and fans of cute things. Moreover, the wide variety available makes them accessible for beginners and very attractive for more experienced crafters. If you are an expert at crocheting them or want to start in this art, you have come to the right place.
However, keep in mind that not all materials are suitable for creating these dolls. That's why, at Lanas Rubí, we wanted to compile the Lanas Rubí qualities that are suitable for these crafts. All of them have the Oeko-Tex® certificate, so you can rest assured about the little ones' skin. The choice depends on your preferences and experience as a knitter. We hope you like them!
Rubí Amigurumi
Our first recommendation is this yarn ball designed specifically for crocheting amigurumis. Its yarn (composed of 49% cotton and 51% acrylic) is not only easy to crochet, but it will also give them a soft and natural touch, combined with strong resistance that will prevent their deterioration.
In addition, Rubí Amigurumi offers fun patterns on its labels, created by "El taller de mamá," which you can download via its QR code. Choose the one you like best and add your favorite colors or your unique and inimitable touch: Dreaming Lion, Baby Rabbit, Rainbow Unicorn, Cuddly Bear, or Lapdog.
Long live cotton!
Another specialized yarn is Rubí Super Cotton, made with long, 100% cotton fibers, which will make your amigurumi soft and shiny.
You might be new to crocheting, so you may prefer Rubí Handy Cotton, whose multiple fibers and texture make it easy to work with. Plus, you'll give your dolls a very natural look.
If you want amigurumis for newborns, we recommend Rubí Natural and Rubí Natural Medium, made of Egyptian cotton, a superior quality cotton that, with its extremely long fibers, gives it incomparable shine, softness, and resistance.
The importance of details
Finish your dolls for older children with small details that will make them unique and personalized. Use Rubí Bubble for hair, for example. Its frayed look gives your creations a casual and fun appearance. Or Rubí Fiesta for accessories.
