Chenile yarn fluff

Ok, I am admittedly a chenile yarn newbie, because I can’t really afford to buy it oftem. That being said, I have a serious question:

How do you manage the yarn fluff?

Because it is getting everywhere, and it is starting to really annoy my family. Everytime I turn around, there is another peice of fuzz. I love working with plush yarn so far, but I could really use some tips or tricks here!

This is all i can tell you, Keep your yarn in a bag and your working yarn OVER said bag. But yarn fluff is kinda a terrible unavoidable disadvantage to chenille

I keep a lint roller in my crochet bag for on the go, and I have a desk vacuum for my craft room. If its really bad, and youre finding youre inhaling it, I rec. wearing a mask (any mask works here since the yarn fluff is big). You can also try gently melting the ends with a lighter before starting to crochet to limit how much is falling off the beginning strand, and using acrylic to sew instead also cuts down on it.

Yea, that just happens with some chenilles. It’s the worst with Loops and Threads brand I think tho, so maybe try getting a different brand to figure out which sheds less, or watch some videos about yarn shedding!

I use a lint roller. Works most of the time.

This annoys my family too! I think a lint roller would be nice, and also I sew with acrylic since so much fuzz comes off when I sew with chenille.
I’ve noticed that Bernat fuzzes a lot less then some other chenille brands though.
