What our 10doigts amigurumi kits contain: skeins of yarn, ergonomic crochet hook, stuffing, accessories (eyes, noses, etc.), and illustrated instructions.

What Materials to Choose for Starting Crochet?

Hooks: from 3 to 6 mm, with a soft grip for good handling
Skeins: acrylic yarn or cotton, bulky yarn recommended for beginners
