Hello what do you guys think of chenille yarn? I really like the way it looks it’s just that it is really annoying when it frays and when making Magic Rings it’s really hard to close. Do you guys have any tips? Anyways be sure to tell me what you think .
I looove chenille yarn! It’s indeed annoying when it frays, but I love how it’s different than velvet yarn but still really soft It gives a different look, which is sometimes nicer than the velvet look Since I make my MR different (I don’t use the “traditional” method) I don’t really have a problem with that
I absolutely LOVE chenille yarn! (I usually buy it from Dollar Tree).
If you are having trouble with your magic circle: I make a magic circle by chaining 2, then crocheting in the first chain, then after crocheting the required stitches, pull it close. With Chenille yarn, I do NOT advise pulling it closed, since it will either fray the yarn or it will snap. Instead, continue to the next few rounds, then pause, picking up your tail from the magic circle, and sew the gap closed.
Velvet is a type of chenille, its where the fluffy fibres are sealed together in this fashion. Like pipe cleaners also being called chenille stems. Velvet is the more shiny metalic looking kind of chenille but theres other types too.
