Go Handmade yarns for stuffed animals and baby blankets

Go Handmade fluffy yarns from Denmark

Go Handmade is a needlecraft brand from Denmark. The range focuses on soft, fluffy yarns for stuffed animals, amigurumi, baby blankets and cozy accessories. Knitted or crocheted, they create a velvety, plush feel.

What matters with plush and fluffy yarn

Fluffy yarns behave differently from smooth wool. Individual stitches are hard to see in the pile, so it's best to place stitch markers at the start of the round and count stitches by feel rather than by sight. Work with even, fairly loose tension and choose simple patterns, because textured stitch patterns usually get lost in the pile. Plan carefully, since unraveling fluffy yarn is tedious. For baby blankets, large simple areas such as stockinette or single crochet work well and show off the soft pile. Whether a yarn is suitable for baby toys is stated with each product – check the manufacturer's information.

• Stuffed animals and amigurumi with a plush feel
• Baby blankets and soft accessories
• Stitch markers for the start of the round
• Simple patterns instead of textured stitches

Tip: For stuffed animals, crochet with a hook slightly smaller than the one recommended on the ball band. This makes the fabric denser so the stuffing doesn't show through.
