Yarn and Fabric related

This is the King and the cat from my Amigurumi Kingdom book, there are loads of other characters that I'm hoping to slowly work my way through. They were very detailed and each detail was done in a different way than other Amigurumi figures i'd done before so I've learn a lot of new tricks. The yarn I used for the kings face and bald head looks pale but in this photo even paler, I have ordered a different yarn in a slightly darker colour for the others as it's hard to see the difference between his face and his moustache and beard. Each character has a little crocheted base so they stand up easily. The king is about 4 inches high with his crown.
