Our take on the Bernat Future #4 Worsted (Medium) Polyester Yarn

Bernat Future is a #4 worsted-weight chenille yarn made from 100% recycled polyester, with each 100g skein reusing about five plastic bottles. It comes in a 333-yard put-up, which is generous for a chenille and lets you finish larger projects like throws and garments with fewer joins. The chenille texture gives a soft, plush fabric that suits home decor and accessories more than structured pieces. Crafters rate it highly for softness and stitch definition, though chenille yarns like this one can shed and are harder to rip back than smooth spun yarns.
