What is the best yarn for crocheting the Goldfish Amigurumi?
The best yarn for crocheting a goldfish amigurumi is cotton yarn or acrylic yarn, each offering distinct advantages for amigurumi projects. The cotton yarn holds its shape well and provides a smooth, clean look, perfect for small details like fins and scales on the goldfish. Acrylic is softer and more flexible, making it easier to work with, especially for beginners. Acrylic is softer and more flexible, making it easier to work with, especially for beginners.
