Hint
Working with chenille
If you’ve never knit or crocheted with thick
chenille you are in for a treat. There are a few
things to keep in mind before you begin.
Chenille accessories make perfect gifts. They
look and feel luxurious. Made on large needles or hooks, they are a snap to complete.
The yarn makes a delightful fabric that
doesn’t need anything more than the
simplest stitches. It is best used for
uncomplicated designs that don’t require
lots of finishing and seaming.
