Pro Tips

Velvet and chenille style yarns can be prone to worming (the yarn twisting back on itself), so work at an even tension and avoid an overly loose gauge for a neat finish. Wash finished items by hand or on a gentle machine cycle in cool water up to 30C, do not bleach, wring, iron or tumble dry, and dry flat on a towel rather than hanging so the piece keeps its shape.

Complete Your Setup

Pair this yarn with a crochet hook set, a pair of knitting needles, stitch markers, a yarn needle for finishing, and safety eyes if you are making amigurumi. Add a second or third ball for blankets and garments so you do not run short and your dye lot stays consistent.
