Compatibility

Works with: 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm crochet hooks, 3 mm to 4 mm knitting needles, safety eyes and fibre stuffing.

Pairs well with: other milk cotton shades for multicolour amigurumi and flower bouquets.

Not suitable for: quick chunky blankets; this is a fine yarn, so large projects grow slowly.

How to Use

2. Keep an even tension; the 4 ply strand gives neat, uniform stitches.
3. For amigurumi, size down to a 2 mm to 2.5 mm hook so stuffing does not show.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the ball?
One brick red milk cotton yarn ball, 4 ply, about 50g, in 80% long staple cotton and 20% milk fibre.

Which hook size should I use?
2.5 mm to 3.5 mm for most projects. For tight amigurumi fabric use 2 mm to 2.5 mm.

How is milk cotton different from velvet chenille yarn?
Milk cotton is smooth with crisp stitch definition, ideal for detailed amigurumi and flowers. Velvet chenille is plush and fuzzy for a soft toy finish. Pick milk cotton when you want the stitches to show.

Is this good for beginners?
Yes. The smooth 4 ply strand is easy to work, frogs cleanly and shows each stitch clearly while you learn.
