Notes

Epic design.
This is my fifth one.
Fun to make.
Surprisingly quick.

Beautiful yarn. This is the last of my supply.
Made three beautiful stuffies with it.

Recommendation:
use a US 10 6.0 mm or US 10 1/2 6.5 mm needle with this yarn for amigurumi.
US 9 5.5 mm is hard on the hands.

15.0 mm black animal eyes

100 % recycled stuffing, beautiful and fluffy, economical 5 lb bag, $ 22 USD from https://www.officesupply.com/craft-supplies/crafts/tradit....
Free shipping with an order of $45 USD.
Note: they have tons of yarn, reasonably priced.
