🧶 2024 was definitely chenille yarn’s time to shine ✨ It began when I needed “dog fur” for my jumbo stuffies… I was using tube yarn for the bodies and main features of the pups, but I wanted a different texture for the long haired dogs I was being asked to make. Chenille yarn was the simple and obvious option. A lot of people have used chenille yarn for hand knitting, but I always resisted. I loved tube yarn and felt it set my creations and art apart. But it had its limits. Tube yarn was perfect for shape and structure, but it lacked the texture needed to really bring my stuffies to life. When I started working with chenille yarn, it was a bit of a learning curve, but I quickly came to appreciate its fluffiness, ease of use, and accessibility for purchasing. When I began my granny square journey and chenille yarn was the better option for hand crocheting, there was no turning back. Since then I have bought and used a LOT of chenille yarn, and I’ve also started selling it to all of you! It’s fun to have another chunky yarn in the mix and to diversify my product offerings. Chenille yarn also opened a bigger market for teaching classes. With its lower price point and faster turn around time in my supply chain, it allowed me to teach more classes, more frequently. Long story short, I owe much of 2024 to chenille yarn! Here’s to all we will create together in 2025 🩷 Stay creative, Jess
