Chenille Velvet Yarn UK – Soft Plush Yarn 50g/80m in 24 Colours

Best for: crochet blankets, scarves, amigurumi and stuffed toys, cushion covers, winter accessories and soft home décor.

Not ideal for: projects that need very crisp stitch definition or a natural-fibre yarn. Chenille has a plush pile, so individual stitches can be less visible than with smooth cotton or acrylic yarn.

Why choose this chenille velvet yarn?

This soft polyester chenille has a plush velvet finish that gives blankets, toys and accessories a full, cosy appearance. Each 50g ball contains approximately 80 metres and is suitable for both crochet and knitting. Choose from 24 colours, including neutrals, pastels, earthy shades and cool blues.

Frequently asked questions

Is this yarn suitable for beginners?

Yes. The recommended 4–5mm hook or needle size is manageable for beginner projects. Because the yarn is plush, stitch loops may be less visible than with a smooth yarn, so count stitches carefully.

Can I use it for both crochet and knitting?

Yes. It is suitable for crochet and knitting with a suggested 4–5mm hook or needles.

Is it a standard DK yarn?

It is described as DK / light worsted at approximately 8 wraps per inch. The plush chenille pile behaves differently from smooth-spun yarn, so make a small tension swatch before starting a fitted project.
