Alternatives to chenille or websites for chenille

Okay so I live in this really small area and there is NO chenille yarn. Or a Michael’s. Or a Joanne’s? I don’t even have stores like that in my country. And I live in a small island. I need alternatives so I can make chunky plushies, or maybe an online store with affordable prices…

Is there any bulky yarn (weight 6) you can find?

LoveCrafts.com ships to over 135 countries and yarn-paradise.com ships worldwide. Both have a large selection of yarn including different weights of chenille yarn. I hope this helps you.

I would try Amazon! Amazon has literally everything! You might be able to find it!

Search up Bernat Blanket!

Shipping is so expensive though… Maybe I’ll save up and then I’ll buy millions of skeins so I get free shipping

Also maybe premier yarns!

Try Ice Yarns. Their prices will usually offset the shipping. Good yarn as well.

I’m always looking for decent prices so I went to check out Ice Yarns and the website was the same as Yarn Paradise so I checked out the about info on each site and they’re identical! I looked at a few categories and the yarn is also the same.
