Our take on the Lion Brand Cover Story Yarn

Cover Story is Lion Brand's super bulky chenille yarn, a 100% polyester velvet-textured yarn sold in 1,000 g skeins with about 500 m (roughly 547 yd) each. The jumbo put-up suits big projects like giant blankets and plush home décor without constant joining. It is machine washable and dryable, which matters for throws and pillows that get used. The best new price is $28.00 at Etsy as of November 4, 2026, with 7 stores listing it new.

Pros
  • Extra-large 1,000 g skein means fewer joins and fewer ends to weave in
  • Velvety chenille surface gives a soft, plush look
  • Super bulky weight works up fast on large hooks or needles
  • Machine wash and machine dry for easy care
  • Single 100% polyester fiber resists felting and holds shape
Cons
  • Chenille sheds and can crush or mat with heavy use
  • Smooth chenille is slippery and can be tricky to keep even tension
  • Super bulky limits it to chunky projects, not garments with drape
  • Large skein is heavy to work from and needs rewinding or a yarn bowl
  • Limited color range compared with Lion Brand's thinner lines

Questions and answers

Is $28 a good price for a 1,000 g skein?
At $28.00 at Etsy as of November 4, 2026, you are paying about 2.8 cents per gram, which is low for a super bulky chenille. Compare against the other 6 new listings before buying, since bulky yarn prices vary by color and seller.
How much yarn do I need for a blanket?
Each skein has about 500 m (547 yd). A throw-size blanket in super bulky chenille typically takes 2 to 4 skeins, and a bed-size blanket more. Buy all skeins at once to keep dye lots consistent.
Can I machine wash and dry projects made with it?
Yes. The label lists machine wash and machine dry. Use a gentle cycle and low heat to reduce shedding and pilling, and avoid high heat that can crush the pile.
What hook or needle size should I use?
As a weight category 6 super bulky yarn, it works with large hooks or needles, roughly 9–15 mm depending on the fabric you want. Swatch first, because chenille tension varies between crocheters and knitters.
Does it shed or pill?
Chenille yarns like this one can shed loose fuzz while you work and may pill where a blanket rubs. Trimming loose fibers and washing gently helps, but some shedding is normal for the fiber.
Is it good for beginners?
It is fast and satisfying for simple stitches like single crochet or garter stitch. The smooth, slippery surface makes it less forgiving for complex stitch patterns or tight tension.
Where is the Lion Brand Cover Story Yarn cheapest?
At Etsy, for $28.00, 20% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Lion Brand Cover Story Yarn?
7 stores we checked sell it, including Etsy, Walmart, eBay, Magic Scissors, Lion Brand Yarn.
