My chenille yarns & where I get them from!

I often get asked about what brands of yarn I use so I've put together a little blog post about my favourite yarns and where I get them from. I use all these chenille yarns interchangeably as they are similar enough in feel & thickness to be used together on the same project (in my opinion!)

For context I live in the UK and these are the yarn options I've found work best for me and that I can get hold of relatively easily.

I personally use a 5.5mm hook with these yarns (although I know some people use a smaller hook size than this).

Cons: 
- It can be tricky to find sellers of this brand!
