What is the Best Yarn for Crochet Keychains?

You can use any yarn that you have on hand. My personal preference is cotton as it’s a bit more durable compared to other yarns.

Yarn weight should also be taken into consideration when choosing yarn as it will effect the size of your finished keychain.

Since keychains are typically small, you may want to choose a thinner yarn or stick to what’s recommended in the pattern.
