Questions and answers

Is this yarn worth it for a blanket?
Yes if you want a soft, quick blanket. At 223 yd per 300 g skein, a throw takes several skeins, so add up the cost before starting.
What size needles or hook does it need?
Use US 11 (8 mm) knitting needles or an L-11 (8 mm) crochet hook. The label gauge is 8 stitches x 13 rows knit and 7 single crochet x 8 rows crochet.
Can I machine wash and dry projects made with it?
Yes. The label lists machine wash and machine dry, which suits blankets and plush toys that get regular use.
How many skeins do I need for a blanket?
It depends on size and gauge. A large throw typically needs 6 or more skeins at 223 yd each, so check your pattern's yardage.
Is chenille yarn good for amigurumi?
It gives a soft, plush finish, but the slippery texture makes tight stitches and color changes harder. Use a smaller hook and tight tension if you try it.
When is the price lowest?
The best new price was $11.97 at Craft Warehouse as of November 4, 2026. Craft store sales and coupon events are the usual times to watch for lower prices.
