RICO DESIGNRicorumi nilli nilli
WEIGHT DK CONTENT 100% polyester BALL 25g/65m HOOK 3mm RRP £1.55
An exciting new addition to the ever-popular Ricorumi range, this chenille yarn is sure to be a hit with amigurumi lovers. Hooking with the fuzzy lengths is easier than you might think, and the stitch definition almost disappears to leave a soft and squishable fabric that’s perfect for making super-furry animals and other creatures. The cute little balls are great for your stash and your creativity, with 30 colours available including neon orange, green and pink. Machine wash on a gentle 30°C cycle, but don’t tumble dry.

OPALUni 4ply
WEIGHT 4ply CONTENT 75% wool, 25% polyamide BALL 100g/425m HOOK 2.5mm RRP £7.69
Opal’s ever-popular Uni 4ply will get your toes tapping with excitement! It’s a doddle to hook up into a cosy fabric with strong stitch definition and a subtle fuzzy feel. It’s also tough enough to last for years, and you’ll be spoiled for choice with the 37 shades available, including eye-popping neons in yellow, green, orange and pink. You can mix and match them with Opal’s huge selection of self-striping 4ply yarns – contrasting heels and toes, anyone? Put it in the washing machine on a gentle 40°C cycle, but air dry flat.

CYGNETJellybaby
WEIGHT Chunky CONTENT 100% polyester BALL 100g/120m HOOK 4.5mm RRP £4.49
Velvety soft and wonderfully chunky, this yarn is sweet even on sensitive skin. The light weight and barely-there feel makes it a joy to hook, so you won’t want to put it down. Whether you use it to make a cowl or a blanket, you’ll find the fabric grows quickly and has a lovely, subtle sheen. Mix and match 24 colours, including pastels and brights, or combine them with the eight sparkly shades of Jellybaby Glitter for extra flair. Whatever you make, machine wash it at 40˚C and leave to dry naturally.
