Product Description
Paintbox Yarns Chenille is a 100% polyester chunky chenille, 120m (131yds) per ball, knitting to 10 stitches and 19 rows over 10cm on 6.00mm (US 10) needles; recommended crochet hook 6.00mm (J). Paintbox Yarns is our own brand, designed in house.
The pile is the whole point: chenille is softer against the skin than a standard chunky and works up into a dense, velvety fabric with a faint sheen, which is why it suits baby blankets, afghans, cushions and cosy jumpers and cardigans.
The pile hides stitch detail, so it works best in plain fabric — blankets, cushions and soft toys.
Care: delicate machine wash at 30°C, do not tumble dry, do not iron, do not bleach.

Review summary
Most reviewers praise the yarn's softness, its range of colours and how well it suits toys, blankets and amigurumi. Complaints are uncommon, but some mention shedding or fluff, and a few find the yarn breaks or frays when pulled back or sewn.
Summarized by AI
Great quality yarn for projects
I am really pleased. The Chenille Paint Box yarn was better quality than I thought it would be. I like the colour, the feel of it, and the general look of it. I am using it for a hooded scarf bought from you.
Lovely texture for projects
I like the beautiful texture. I'm using it for another project since it is too chunky for a soft toy. It looks so lovely. I will.
a lovely, soft, cuddley wool in a great colour pink combination
lovely colours. I chose the pink mixture. knits up beautifully and is lovely and soft. Only fault is it does not like being undone and redone and the material tends to come apart easily i.e. the fluffy part comes off. I made a winter jacket and its quite warm to wear. I would recommend to confident knitters.
Always Great Service
Excellent yarn, crochets up well and is lovely and soft. Great for plushies, I made a lap blanket which turned out great.
Pink yarn
Very nice soft yarn easy to work with
Good but
Lovely yarn, very soft and knits up well.
Paintbox chanille chunky
