Crochet Yarn
The yarn section offers a wide variety of colors, textures, and weights, making it easy to find the perfect match for any project. Whether you're creating amigurumi, wearables, or home décor, the yarn is soft, durable, and beginner-friendly, with opt...
My pick for big projects! You get a ton of yarn in one skein, making this a great choice for blankets, afghans, and other projects that use a lot of yarn. It’s an affordable #4 worsted-weight acrylic with plenty of colors to choose from.
Caron One Pound Soft Yarn, Ocean, 2-Pack
Perfect for cozy projects! This super-soft chenille yarn works up quickly and is one of my favorites for plush blankets, pillows, baskets, and other cozy crochet projects.
Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn Soft Baby Pink
Great value for blankets! A big one-pound skein means fewer yarn changes while you crochet. I’d use this for blankets, baby projects, home décor, and other projects where you need lots of yardage.
Lion Brand Pound of Love Yarn, Sunflower
Great value for blankets! A big one-pound skein means fewer yarn changes while you crochet. I’d use this for blankets, baby projects, home décor, and other projects where you need lots of yardage.
Lion Brand Yarn Pound of Love Yarn, 2 Pack, Cerise
My budget-friendly pick! A classic #4 acrylic yarn that’s affordable, durable, and available in tons of colors. Great for granny squares, blankets, amigurumi, and everyday crochet projects.
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn for Crochet & Knit
Great when you want color without all the ends! The color changes do the work for you, making this a fun choice for scarves, shawls, blankets, and projects where you want an interesting color effect without constantly switching yarn.
Caron Colorama Halo Cake Ombre Yarn, Rose Garden, 2-Pack
A great lighter-weight option! I like this cotton-blend style of yarn for warmer-weather crochet, bags, accessories, home décor, and projects where you don't want the feel of a traditional acrylic yarn.
Caron All Day Cotton Yarn, Cream, 3-Pack
My pick for 100% cotton projects! This is a great option for bags, coasters, dishcloths, baskets, home décor, and summer crochet projects. It also gives really nice stitch definition.
Lion Brand Yarn, 24/7 Cotton Yarn
Great for plushies and amigurumi! This soft chenille-style yarn makes adorable, squishy stuffed animals and works up quickly because of the thicker weight. A fun choice if you love making plush crochet projects.

My premium pick! These are beautiful ergonomic hooks designed for smooth crocheting and comfortable handling. They're definitely an investment, but they're a great option for someone who crochets frequently and wants to upgrade to a premium set.

A must-have for amigurumi makers! I love having multiple sizes of safety eyes and noses on hand so I can find the right look for different plushies. An assorted kit is much more convenient than buying every size separately.
Assorted Safety Eyes & Noses Kit
An easy way to give amigurumi more personality! Colored and glitter eyes are fun when you want something more unique than standard black safety eyes, especially for fantasy creatures and colorful plushies.
Colored/Glitter Safety Eyes
So helpful when attaching safety eyes! These tools give you extra leverage for pushing the washers onto safety eyes, which can be one of the most frustrating parts of finishing an amigurumi project.
Safety Eye Installation Tool
My go-to type of stuffing for plushies! Polyester fiber fill is a staple for amigurumi, stuffed animals, pillows, and other crochet projects that need soft, lightweight stuffing.
Poly-Fil Fairfield Original Fiber Fill, 32 oz
One of those crochet supplies you can never have enough of! Locking stitch markers are especially useful for amigurumi because they make it easy to mark the beginning of rounds, increases, decreases, and important points in a pattern.
150PCS Locking Stitch Markers 10 Colors
Essential for finishing crochet projects! Large-eye blunt needles make weaving in ends, sewing amigurumi pieces together, and attaching arms, legs, ears, and other pieces much easier.
Large-Eye Tapestry/Yarn Needles
Great if you constantly ask yourself, “What round was I on?” A small row counter makes it easier to keep track of rounds and rows without relying on notes or trying to remember where you stopped.
Digital Row Counter
A crochet bag essential! A small pair of sharp scissors is perfect for trimming yarn and finishing projects without carrying around a full-size pair of scissors.

Great for seeing your yarn without digging through everything! The clear top makes it easy to see your yarn collection while keeping skeins contained and protected. A nice option if you need storage that can tuck away when you're not crocheting.
Yarn Storage Organizer with Clear Top
Great for saving floor space! A hanging organizer lets you separate yarn by color, weight, or project while keeping everything visible. This is especially useful if your yarn collection is starting to take over your craft space.
Hanging Yarn Organizer
Great for keeping your current supplies together! A rolling cart can hold yarn, hooks, notions, patterns, and works-in-progress, and you can move everything wherever you want to crochet.
