Materials

0423 – pink
0256 – dark pink

If you don't have this yarn in your country you can substitute it with anything that has the same properties as on the label above. Make sure it is a mercerized cotton.
For example:
Cascade yarns - Ultra Pima Fine
DMC perle (size 8) : black ( embroidering the eyes)
Other materials and tools:
Needles for sewing the parts together / Embroidering
Wooden ring (5 cm diameter) ( Make sure the wooden ring you use has been tested for toxins and passed the test. A common curtain ring is not always the best choice as they might have been varnished or treated with something that is not visible on the surface.)
