so a friend gave me this lovely chenille yarn which is just so soft and lovely but I now have a legless capybara and no idea what yarn it is! all I know is that it’s not James c Brett flutterby chunky as it has a smoother thicker texture than it (as seen in the picture). if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

Can you by chance get a closer photo of the yarn strand itself? For me, i cant tell differences in chenille when crocheted tightly. The matte look reminds me of premier parfait or sweet snuggles lite. It looks too matte to be honey bunny or baby snuggle. I havent worked with himalaya baby dolphin to comment on that brand

i can’t tell you, but that capybara is adorable! You could try taking a strand and going to a few craft stores seeing if you can match it?

this is what the strand looks like up close! (as close as my phone camera will allow) both of those brands are proving hard to get in the UK without paying excessive shipping

thanks!! he’s really cute and chunky but unfortunately legless the few craft stores where I live don’t seem to stock chenille yarn beyond flutterby chunky which is why it’s the only one I’ve ruled out

Yeah that stinks! Ill check their color combos (im in the us and use them a lot) but i would check out himalaya baby dolphin and their yarn to see if it may be them? I think theyre overseas idk for sure.
From being out and about it looks like the mustard sweet snuggles lite color but does look a bit denser. It is fluffy with a small center strand rather than a thick all the way around blanket yarn correct?

yeah it has a centre strand! all I’m going off is whatever brand it is has both a mustardy colour and an orange colour as those are the two I have been given!

thank you so much for your help! unfortunately it seems I can’t get that yarn from the UK I can’t even view the Michaels website and it seems to only show up occasionally on eBay. I have found some Himalaya dolphin baby yarn that doesn’t cost more to ship than the yarn is worth so I’ve ordered that and I’ll see what it’s like!!
