Bernat Blanket Speckle Super-Bulky Chenille Yarn Squall 2-Pack — 100% Polyester, Plush & Machine Washable

Bernat Blanket Speckle Soft Chenille Yarn in Squall (2-pack) is a super-bulky, 100% polyester chenille yarn speckled with colourful droplets designed for plush, shape-holding blankets and home décor.

Bernat’s newest Blanket Speckle takes the familiar soft, cloud-like chenille of the Blanket line and adds playful speckles of colour for visual texture without extra effort. Each 300 g (10.5 oz) skein delivers 201 m (220 yds) of #6 super-bulky yarn that crochets and knits up quickly into lightweight but substantial fabric. The polyester fibre is machine washable on a delicate cycle, making finished pieces easy-care and durable for everyday use.

How does this yarn behave when making blankets and throws?

The Soft Chenille construction creates a plush, even fabric that drapes softly while retaining its shape. Speckled colour droplets add interest without creating visible striping, so projects read as cohesive with a lively finish.

• Super-bulky gauge speeds up large projects like baby blankets and lap throws.
• Lightweight polyester feel keeps pieces cosy without heavy weight.
• Speckle pattern minimizes the need for colour changes or complicated joins.

What tools and gauge should I use with Bernat Blanket Speckle?

This yarn is rated #6 super-bulky and yields a relaxed, quick gauge suitable for chunky stitches and textured patterns. Use the recommended 8 mm knitting needles or crochet hook for accurate gauge and fabric balance.

• Knitting gauge: 4" x 4" (10 cm) = 8 stitches and 13 rows with 8 mm needles.
• Crochet gauge: 4" x 4" (10 cm) = 7 single crochet and 8 rows with an 8 mm hook.
• Each ball: 300 g / 10.5 oz, 201 m / 220 yds—plan yardage for size before starting.

How do I care for finished items made from this speckled chenille yarn?

Because the yarn is 100% polyester, finished projects are low-maintenance compared with natural fibres. Follow gentle machine-wash instructions to preserve the chenille pile and colour speckles over time.

• Machine wash cool on delicate cycle; avoid hot water.
• Tumble dry low or lay flat to reshape for best results.
• Avoid high-heat ironing or aggressive agitation to protect the pile.

Can I combine Bernat Blanket Speckle with other Blanket family yarns?

Yes—Speckle pairs well with other Bernat Blanket shades for coordinated looks, whether you want solid backgrounds or mixed-colour effects. The speckled droplets make it easy to match or contrast with minimal colour planning.

• Works alongside solid Blanket colours for borders, stripes, or colour-blocking.
• Mix with other textures cautiously—chenille blends best with similarly soft yarns.
• Use speckle as an accent or all-over yarn depending on the project scale.
