I used Himalaya Hayal lux wool (worsted weight; 25% wool, 75% acrylic; 250 m per a 100 g ball) to make the main parts of the toys.
The dress of the cow is made of YarnArt Super Perle (fingering; 100% acrylic; 400 m per a 100 g ball).

Instead of Himalaya Hayal lux wool yarn, you can use any worsted or sport yarn.
