I love this yarn for amigurumi. It's stiff enough that it doesn't stretch or split when using small needles and tight stitches as you do for amigurumi crochet, and cheap enough (especially when it goes on sale at the craft stores, which it often does) that I can stock up on whatever colors catch my eye to tuck away for future projects. I just wish they'd come out with a good "flesh" shade for making toys!
