Best Yarn To Choose For The Crochet Spider

1. Type of Yarn

For making amigurumi, including this spider, it's typically best to use yarn that holds shape well and has a smooth texture. Here are some options:

• Cotton Yarn: Provides great stitch definition and is very durable.
• Acrylic Yarn: Versatile and widely available; it holds its shape nicely, which is great for amigurumi.

2. Yarn Weight

• Worsted Weight (Medium 4): This is a good weight as it's not too thin or too thick, making it easy to work with and giving a good structure to the spider.

3. Yarn Colors

• Black or Dark Colors: For the body and legs to give the spider a classic look.
• White or Off-White: For the spider’s fangs and possibly part of the eyes if not using safety eyes.
