Recommended Yarns (Pattern Version)

To create a soft and fluffy texture, I used three strands of lace-weight mohair held together.
You can also make this shrew using one strand of fingering-weight yarn instead of mohair.
As I used some unbranded thin mohair yarns that I already had at home, I am unable to provide specific yarn details.
