Bernat Blanket Super Bulky Chenille Yarn Frosted Blue 2-Pack — 100% Polyester, Machine-Washable 402 m

Bernat Blanket Super Bulky Soft Chenille Yarn in Frosted Blue is a plush, machine-washable #6 yarn sold here as a convenient 2-pack ideal for quick, cosy blankets and home décor projects.

This chenille-style yarn delivers a velvety hand and chunky gauge that makes large projects work up fast. Each 300 g (10.5 oz) ball contains 220 yards of 100% polyester that resists pilling and launders easily, so finished items look and feel soft without special care. The frosted blue hue blends subtle variegation with a cool tone that complements modern and classic interiors.

How fast will a blanket or throw come together with this yarn?

The super bulky weight and thick strand dramatically reduce stitch count and project time compared with lighter yarns. You can complete a lap blanket in a few evenings and a full-size throw over several weekends, depending on stitch choice and needle size.

• Yarn weight: #6 super bulky — very quick stitch coverage
• Needles/hooks: works well with 8 mm (U.S. 11) knitting needles and 8 mm (U.S. L/11) crochet hooks
• Gauge examples: knitting 4"= 8 sts x 13 rows; crocheting 4"= 7 sc x 8 rows
• 2-pack gives 440 total yards for larger throws or coordinating projects

What projects suit Bernat Blanket chenille yarn?

This yarn excels at items that benefit from a soft, luxurious feel and bold visual weight. It’s commonly chosen for afghans and oversized blankets, but also works well for sculptural crochet baskets, plush pillows, and easy wearable pieces where softness and warmth are priorities.

• Afghans, throws, and baby blankets — plush and drapey
• Chunky sweaters, scarves, and cowls for rapid results
• Crochet baskets and home décor that require structure yet softness
• Amigurumi-style soft toys with a velvety surface

How do I care for finished items made with this yarn?

Bernat Blanket yarn is designed for simple maintenance to keep projects looking fresh. Finished items are machine washable and dryable, removing the need for delicate hand care while maintaining the yarn’s plush feel when laundered properly.

• Machine wash and tumble dry on gentle settings for best results
• 100% polyester composition resists shrinking and heavy felting
• Wash with like colours to preserve the frosted blue shade
• Avoid high-heat ironing; steam or low-heat shaping if necessary

What should I know about gauge, yardage, and stitch choice?

Because this is a very thick yarn, stitch definition is softer than with smooth fibres; simple stitches highlight the texture and chenille surface. Use the recommended 8 mm tools for accurate gauge, and plan yardage according to the dense coverage of a #6 yarn.

• Each ball: 220 yards; two balls = 440 yards total
• Stitch definition: best with simple knits and crochet stitches
• Adjust patterns that list lighter yarns — expect fewer stitches and rows
• Check finished dimensions frequently; large stitches change measurements quickly

Who is this for: Bernat Blanket Super Bulky in Frosted Blue is ideal for knitters and crocheters who want fast, tactile projects with a high-end soft finish — from beginners seeking instant gratification to experienced crafters making oversized home accents or baby items. It’s also well suited for makers who need easy-care fibre for everyday use and gifting.
