Rico Design Creative Chenillovely DK: ultra-soft chenille yarn, 50g

What is Rico Design Creative Chenillovely DK and what makes it special?

Creative Chenillovely DK is a 100% polyester chenille yarn in DK weight, with an ultra-soft, fluffy feel reminiscent of velvet. Also known as chenille yarn by many knitters and crocheters, it combines volume, lightness and a slightly satin finish that sets it apart from traditional smooth yarns.

Within the range of Rico Design yarns, it is the only one available in DK weight with Oeko-Tex® certification, making it equally versatile for small pieces, blankets and larger garments.

It is available in 9 rich solid colours —beautiful shades ranging from cream to black, including tones such as mauve, aqua and fir green— designed to bring any project to life.

What projects is this chenille yarn ideal for?

This chenille yarn is ideal for amigurumi, soft toys, blankets, cushions and padded garments thanks to its volume and soft feel. Its DK weight makes it suitable for both small, detailed pieces and larger projects, while its Oeko-Tex® certification also makes it suitable for baby clothes and blankets.

• ▷ Soft toys and amigurumi: the natural volume of the chenille adds body without the need for extra stuffing.
• ▷ Cushions and textile décor: it creates a soft, elegant finish.
