What Yarn is Safe for Mice?

I crochet, and I'm curious if there's any yarn safe for mice so I can make them things! I usually use acrylic yarn- is that safe? And if not, is there any out there I can use?

Acryclic yarn isn't safe for chewing or their nails. Craft stores (Michael's and Hobby Lobby, I know for sure have it) have fleece yarn that you can buy. It's around $5-6. There are also tutorials about how to make your own fleece yarn if you have any scraps.

So fleece yarn is safe? Got it! Thanks.

I also use hemp threads/rope, which can be used with needles if you were interested. The mice are super fast to chew through and destroy it though, so it isn't the best for hanging things.
