Bernat Blanket Extra White Jumbo #7 Chenille Yarn 2-Pack 300g — Soft, Machine-Washable

Bernat Blanket Extra White Yarn is a jumbo-weight, chenille-style polyester yarn sold as a 2-pack of 300g/10.5oz balls, ideal for fast, plush blankets and chunky home projects.

This extra-thick yarn delivers a cloud-like texture and bold stitch definition while remaining easy to care for—machine washable and dryable. Designed for builders of cosy home accessories and oversized wearables, the Bernat Blanket Extra in white works quickly on large needles and hooks so you can finish afghans, throws, and cushy decor pieces in less time. The 2-pack helps ensure consistent dye-lot matching and enough yardage for mid-size projects without frequent reordering.

How fast will this yarn work up into a blanket or throw?

The jumbo #7 gauge and 97 yards per 300g ball make this yarn extremely quick to knit or crochet. Projects like lap blankets and throws move rapidly because each stitch covers more area than with lighter yarns.

• Gauge: 4" x 4" knitting = 5 sts x 7 rows with 12.75 mm needles
• Crochet gauge: 4" x 4" = 4 sc x 4 rows with 15 mm hook
• Length: 97 yards / 300g (10.5 oz) per ball
• Work time: large needles/hooks reduce stitch count and build fabric faster

What projects are best suited to Bernat Blanket Extra White?

This chenille-style polyester excels in home décor and oversized wearables where softness and visual bulk are priorities. Use it for cuddly blankets, plush cushions, chunky scarves, and even amigurumi that benefit from a velvet-like finish.

• Blankets and afghans: excellent drape and squish
• Chunky sweaters and cardigans: bold texture and warmth
• Pillows and throws: fast coverage with stable structure

How do I care for finished pieces made with this polyester chenille?

• Machine wash on gentle or delicate cycle
• Tumble dry low to maintain plush texture
• Avoid high heat ironing or bleaching
