What is the best chenille yarn option for your Amigurumis?
If you are passionate about Amigurumis , you know how crucial the choice of yarn is to bring our favorite companions to life.
We would like to present here two options from the Himalaya brand, which is currently considered the "top of the top" chenille yarns. But which one to choose for your next project, what are their advantages and what are their differences?
Similarities:
Before diving into the differences, let's first explore their many similarities and benefits:
- They are both certified: OEKO-TEX Standard 100
- Same wire thickness: 6
- Same composition: 100% Polyester
- Same length: 120 meters
- Same weight: 100g
- Very easy to crochet
But above all their main advantage lies in quality. Vastly superior to other brands of chenille wire on the market. They fray less , maintain a better shine and offer greater softness .
The differences between the 2 threads:
Now the crucial question: what are the differences between the Dolphin Baby and the Velvet?
The main distinction lies in their dyeing process: While Dolphin Baby is dyed in skeins , Velvet is dyed in cones .
This choice of dye gives Velvet chenille yarn a unique velvet effect and subtle reflections. While for the Dolphin Baby, this gives it even more roundness.
The good news is that if a color is no longer available in one or other of the ranges you can think about mixing them!
The other advantage of Velvet yarn is that it is slightly less expensive.
