Almost any yarn can be used for this project, with corresponding hook size. I’ve found it’s best to use the same make of yarn for the entire project for wonderful results.
You can also use this pattern as a stash buster - just stick to yarn with similar fibre content & close to the same number of metres per 100g.
I recommend using a smaller hook than you would normally use for your chosen yarn.
You want to keep your stitches tight to keep the polyester fibrefill inside the stem, and minimise the gaps in the mushroom cap.
