Yarn
This pattern is designed with medium weight 4 yarn. I used Hobbii's Friends Cotton 8/8 yarn, which produces a sturdy result with clear stitch definition.
Vegan Alternative
If you go with a 100% cotton white, off-white, or cream/beige yarn, you can easily paint on the surface. It works very well as a cruelty-free and eco-friendly alternative to painting chicken eggs during the Easter holiday! I recommend using watercolor paints, acrylic, or fabric paints.
