Chenille Yarn: Hello Baby Love Velvet Yarn in 32 Colours

Chenille (velvet) yarn has a short-pile, velvety surface that hides stitch gaps and feels soft to the touch. Hobianna stocks all 32 colours (No. 201–232) of Hello Baby Love chenille yarn in 25 g / 50 m balls, 100% polyester, from pastel baby shades to deep tones on one page. Patterns give colours by number; buying all balls for a project from the same dye lot avoids shade differences.

What Is Chenille Yarn Used For?

In punch needle it gives a plush, rug-like pile with a 4 mm needle; punch tightly on monk's cloth. In amigurumi a 3 mm hook makes full, plush toys; count stitches in good light. It is also chosen for baby blankets, booties and cushions for its softness. Hand wash, dry flat. Other punch yarns are in Punch Needle Threads, all Hello yarns on the Hello brand page.
