Sherman the Sheep
Of course, you don’t need any kind of special yarn to make a nice detailed pattern. Strictly speaking, you can skip the fluffy yarn if you find it hard to work with and just regular acrylic yarn instead. These amigurumi lamb are certainly no less cute made in this way! I love that they can stay in the sitting position all by themselves.
