Bernat Blanket Yarn Super-Bulky Chenille – Aubergine 2-Pack, Ultra-Soft & Machine Washable

Bernat Blanket Super Bulky Soft Chenille Yarn in Aubergine is a plush, #6 super-bulky polyester yarn sold as a convenient two-ball pack ideal for fast, cosy blankets and home décor projects.

This chenille-style yarn delivers an ultra-soft hand and a thick gauge that stitches up quickly, making it a favourite for afghans, chunky throws, and oversized accessories. Each 300 g (10.5 oz) ball contains approximately 220 yards of 100% polyester yarn that is machine washable and dryable, so finished pieces are easy to care for. The deep aubergine shade provides a rich, modern accent for living rooms, nurseries, and gift projects.

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

The super-bulky #6 weight and large strand size mean stitches build fast, so blankets and throws come together in far fewer rows than lighter yarns. Many makers finish lap blankets or baby blankets in just a few weekends.

• Yardage: ~220 yards per 300 g ball; this listing is a 2-pack.
• Needles/hooks: recommended 8 mm (U.S. 11/L) for knitting and crochet.
• Gauge: knitting 8 sts x 13 rows per 4"; crochet 7 sc x 8 rows per 4".
• Great for quick, chunky stitches and simple patterns.

What projects suit Bernat Blanket yarn beyond afghans?

Though famous for blankets, this chenille-style yarn adapts well to home décor and accessories where a plush look is desired. Use it for soft cushions, crochet baskets, chunky scarves, pet beds, and textured accent pieces that benefit from a voluminous hand.

• Home décor: throws, pillows, poufs, and storage baskets.
• Wearables: oversized scarves and cowls (avoid delicate shaping).
• Baby items: soft blankets and padded play mats—gentle texture, machine washable.
• Amigurumi & accessories: best for large, plush shapes rather than fine detail.

How do I care for finished items made with Bernat Blanket yarn?

Finished projects are designed for easy home laundering. Because the yarn is 100% polyester and treated for durability, you can machine wash and tumble dry your creations on standard settings, which makes it practical for everyday use and gift items for busy households.

• Care: machine wash and dry; follow label instructions for temperature limits.
• Storage: store dry and away from direct sunlight to preserve colour.
• Maintenance: brush lightly to refresh pile if flattened over time.

Which tools and amounts should I plan for my project?

Tool choice and ball count depend on finished size and stitch density. Use 8 mm knitting needles or crochet hooks for the recommended gauge; estimate ball needs by size—baby blankets take fewer balls, throws need more yardage accordingly.

• Recommended tools: 8 mm (U.S. 11) needles or hooks.
• Estimate: one 300 g ball = ~220 yd; two balls in this pack = ~440 yd total.
• Pattern notes: check pattern gauge and adjust number of balls as needed.
