Yarn Alternatives

You can use any chunky yarn to achieve a similar effect. Acrylic blends prevent the work from becoming too heavy. Choose one which is quite lofty for a nice squishy result.

A smooth cotton makes for easier surface crochet. Choose a fine 4ply or perlé. This doesn’t take much yarn, so it’s a good chance to use up leftovers.
