Do I Need To Go And Buy More Yarn?
No. (Well, not unless you want to!) Just use up some of your stash. The patterns don't use any brand in particular. If you keep the yarn a consistent thickness for all colours and you can pretty much use what you want.
We tend to use acrylic yarn for our toys as the thickness is consistent and colours are vibrant.
We only use 2 thicknesses of yarn for all patterns. Either Double Knitting (Light Worsted, 8ply, No.3, Approx 300m/100g) or Chunky (Bulky, 16ply, No.5, Approx 150m/100g) See the listing to see which one we used.
You know that you will be able to use the pattern in future too when your stash changes. Don't be afraid to experiment with fancy yarns and thicknesses.

Do You Sell Yarn, Needles or Haberdashery?
All we do is create gorgeous toy knitting patterns.We don't sell anything else.This makes us specialists at what we do.
This also means that you are free to buy your haberdashery from your local yarn shop or any other place that you like.
What About Knitting Needles?
We use either 3mm(UK 11, US 3) needles with Double Knitting yarn.If you use chunky / bulky then 4.5mm single pointed knitting needles(UK 7, US 7) are what we use.
Is That Right?It Seems Too Small
If you look at a ball band or have knitted garments before, you will know the recommended size is for larger needles.We do this so when you knit the pieces the knitting stays dense and the toy stuffing doesn't show through.

Maureen Baker –
I knitted “Claude the cat” for a friends birthday. I am so pleased how he turned out. My great granddaughter keeps going through the patterns saying which one she would like. I would like to knit Lilly the doll for her as her name is Lily!!!!!!.
Sue Porch –
It’s years since I knitted any toys.. But ‘Claude the cat’ was ‘purrrrrr..fect. I also have knitted the ‘pink & white cat’ bagpuss.. The patterns are so easy to follow too.. and I always look forward to see what the new patterns are every month..
Patricia Hargreaves –
This is the best pattern for a small cat I have found, resulting in an adorable toy. I have knitted it in mohair for a ‘furry effect’ well worth the effort.
