Bernat Blanket Super-Bulky Chenille Yarn Taupe 2-Pack — 100% Polyester, Machine-Washable, Fast-to-Knit

Bernat Blanket Super Bulky Soft Chenille Yarn in Taupe (2-pack) is a plush, 100% polyester, super-bulky yarn designed to stitch fast and produce ultra-cosy home décor items like blankets and baskets.

This extra-plush chenille yarn is made for makers who want a velvety finish with minimal time commitment. Each 300 g (10.5 oz) skein delivers 201 meters (220 yards) of super-bulky weight fibre that works up quickly on large needles or hooks. The Taupe shade is a neutral, warm grey-brown that pairs well with modern and rustic interiors. Because the yarn is polyester, finished pieces are easy to care for—safe in the washing machine and dryer—so your blankets and soft goods stay low-effort and long-lasting.

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

Because this is a super-bulky (weight 6) chenille yarn, projects grow quickly and require fewer stitches and rows than smaller weights. Expect large-scale pieces like lap blankets or chunky throws to take a fraction of the time compared with worsted or DK yarns.

• Gauge: 8 sts × 13 rows on 8 mm (U.S. 11) knitting needles.
• Crochet gauge: 7 sc × 8 rows with an 8 mm (U.S. L/11) hook.
• Each ball: 300 g (10.5 oz), 201 m (220 yd) — ample yardage for big projects.
• Super-bulky weight means fewer stitches per inch and faster progress.

Is this yarn easy to care for and suitable for everyday use?

Yes—Bernat Blanket yarn is 100% polyester, so finished items are durable and machine-friendly. The fabric's chenille texture feels luxurious while standing up to routine use when cared for correctly.

• Care instructions: machine wash and dry for simple upkeep.
• Polyester fibre resists stretching and keeps shape after laundering.
• Colourfast for normal household use; follow label instructions to protect pile.

What kinds of projects are best suited to this chenille yarn?

This yarn is tailored to home décor and giftables that benefit from a plush hand and visible stitch definition at a large scale. Its softness and thickness make it particularly good for items where comfort and visual impact matter most.

• Afghans, lap blankets, and oversized throws with a cloud-like feel.
• Crochet baskets, chunky pillows, poufs, and soft pet beds.
• Quick gift projects — works up fast for last-minute handmade presents.
• Repeatable colour options to match or coordinate with room palettes.

How much yarn do I get and will two balls be enough?

The 2-pack includes two large 300 g skeins, giving you a combined 402 meters (440 yards) of yarn. Whether this is enough depends on the project size and stitch pattern; many throw or lap-blanket patterns list yardage estimates to help plan.

• Each ball: 300 g / 10.5 oz, 201 m / 220 yd; 2-pack doubles that total.
• Suggested needles/hooks: 8 mm (U.S. 11) knitting needles or 8 mm (U.S. L/11) crochet hook.
• Check pattern yardage; two balls cover smaller throws and many basket projects.
