I have been trying to find true chenille yarn that is a decent density. This fits the bill. Like true chenille is is a string centre with the chenille (fluff) over it, so yes it will come away at cut ends. Also yes if you pull too hard will snap, I only found this when tightening a magic ring if not careful. I had to undo many stiches and found no clumping of the chenille so was able to reuse yarn, other brands I cannot do the with at all. I used a 5.5mm hook for photo, you can see no gaps. Would happily buy again, in fact waiting for light grey to come into stock again.

Pros: soft, lovely colours, easy to crochet. Works great for amigurumi. Reasonable price. Cons: It can be a bit tricky to unravel if you make a mistake in your work because if you try to tug on it too much, it tends to break. Finished item seems sturdy enough though. After working with this for a few days, I have noticed that it tends to shed quite a bit. I wouldn’t use it for clothing or something that is used constantly.

Absolutely gorgeous yarn, and super easy to work with.It does shed and/or fray just a bit but adjusting tension of both cro het and knitting helps a lot. Love the colours as well!

Very disappointed with this wool. Whilst I concede that it is lovely and soft, it was not good for knitting. I'm not a tight knitter but trying to increase when working in back and front and of a stitch was impossible as it kept breaking. As with any wool of this type there is a tendency for it to lose some of its fibres, but this was really patchy and not reusable. May work better if crocheting but wouldn't recommend for knitting.

Made a cute giant jellyfish with it. Very easy to work with, no splitting and thickness is consistent. Very soft

Soft wool however the yarn falls apart so easily making tying off and making magic circles really difficult. After using this for a project my living room was covered in yarn that had moulted off.

I have been purchasing this yarn for quite a while now but have found that recently the consistency is not the same. Colours are different and quality is getting worse. My newest balls aren’t even useable as the shedding is so bad
