My favorite yarnt o work wit is JubileeYarn eyelash (faux fur) yarn. It comes in several different weights so I pick a weight based ont he size of the animal I wwant to make. I have made palm-sized. puppies with sport weight faux fur and a ten-inch long kitty with bulky weight. All of my stuffed animals are based on either 12 stitches or 24 stitches, so 12 stitches in sport would be palm-sized and 24 stitches in bulky weight is a larger critter. The yarn is so sot and snuggly, perfect for a litle kid to cuddle before bed and it is machine-washable (though it has to be air dried so as not to melt the fur). I have tried several other faux fur yarns and this is the softest and also the smoothest to knit.
Be good. IF you can’t be good, be good at it.
