Overview
A 4-skein pack of #6 super bulky chenille blanket yarn from Knyteruna, sold in a cream, sage, grey and khaki color mix and sized for crochet and knit blankets.
Reviewers consistently describe the yarn arriving vacuum-packed and flat, needing about a day to fluff back up before it looks or feels right, which is worth knowing going in so a buyer does not mistake the compressed shipping state for the finished product. Once fluffed, the texture comparison that comes up repeatedly is to Bernat Baby Blanket yarn, and most buyers who worked full projects with it did not report significant shedding.
- 4 skeins, each 10.5oz/300g and 220 yards
- Pre-matched colors across skeins in a pack
- Size 6 super bulky, works with 8mm hook or needle
- Machine washable and dryable finished projects
Who it's for
Fits someone crocheting or knitting a blanket, amigurumi or similar bulky project who wants pre-matched colors across skeins. Less suited to someone who cannot tolerate joining factory knots partway through a skein, which several buyers flagged as frequent.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly note the yarn arrives compressed and needs roughly a day to fluff up before it feels right, after which most compare it favorably to Bernat Baby Blanket yarn for softness. Shedding was minimal for most buyers even after frogging sections repeatedly. The most common complaint by far is factory knots inside skeins, with some reviewers counting five or six knots across four skeins and one calling it a dealbreaker; a couple of buyers also reported the yarn snapping or breaking mid-project. One reviewer noted the company replaced a defective batch promptly when contacted.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Soft, fluffy texture once unpacked and fluffed
- 4 skeins pre-matched in color for consistency
- Works up fast for blanket-sized projects
- Machine washable and dryable
Performance notes
At size 6 super bulky with a suggested 8mm hook or needle, this works up fast compared to standard-weight yarn, which several buyers cited as a reason they preferred it for blanket-sized projects. The chenille structure is what traps air and gives the fluffy, warm feel reviewers describe, but that same structure is more prone to knots at the factory splice points where skeins are joined during manufacturing.
