If you take a look at the amigurumi world today, one thing becomes obvious very quickly: chenille yarn is everywhere.

Instagram feeds, Etsy shops, Pinterest boards – fluffy animals with big eyes and barely visible stitches seem to dominate the scene. And more often than not, they’re made from chenille. So… why is that?

If you crochet, you’ve probably asked yourself this question more than once: Which yarn should I use?

Chenille, cotton, wool, acrylic, blends – the options are endless. And often, the final decision isn’t purely technical. It’s about how the yarn feels in your hands. How it looks. Whether it’s trendy. Whether it sparks joy.
