Best alternative to Big Twist Posh for Amigurum? Not a fan of most chenille,. as I find it hard to work with. Would
love something more like the texture of Big Twist Posh, which I assume will go away with Joanne closing

You can still order on line even though it’s closing I’m pretty sure!

I use Knotty Ball from Kayla’s Krafts. Almost indistinguishable for me. And their deluxe version is like a bernat blanket sized posh.
ETA; made this in deluxe.

Here’s the best recommendations I’ve found so far, but I haven’t tried them yet. This is just based on other people’s descriptions of the yarns, from various places on different socials. These are the ones I’m going to look into when I run out of Posh.
Knotty Ball from Kayla’s Krafts
Marshmallow from Mojadream (on Amazon)
Patti’s Plush from Patti and Bongo’s Place (ships from Australia so idk if I’ll be able to afford this one)
Lastly, I heard SoHo Skwishy from Herrschner’s is good. Idk if it’s as close of a dupe, but it looks pretty!

I’m seeing it on eBay already. Never used it myself so don’t know how much the cost compares

I’ve seen this all over my local crochet fb group. Every one said it’s perfect and 98% the same
I plan to use this to replace
Premier parfait chunky is THE BEST!!!
Yarn bee chunky yarn is next in line.
Sweet snuggles lite yarn is ok but sheds WAY too much.
