Red Heart Fleece Hugs is a soft, fluffy, self-striping yarn that’s ideal for one skein baby blankets, as well as home décor items and accessories! Presented in convenient and ultra-popular cakes, Fleece Hugs is a medium weight chenille yarn. Chenille is created by sandwiching short “piles” between two core strings of yarn – it all gets twisted up into this gorgeousness! You can see the string if you look closely, but all you feel is the soft fuzzies. Oh how it feels when it’s all crocheted or knitted up! Light, fluffy, soft, cuddly – it’s easy to see why this is a favorite for baby items! The long color changes keep it interesting even when super simple stitches are used, and one skein projects mean minimal ends. And it’s machine washable and dryable too! Red Heart Fleece Hugs Yarn The fuzz on this yarn makes it super squishy and cozy, but it also means you aren’t getting a whole lot of stitch definition. So, to show off this yarn to its full advantage, you’ll want to look for patterns that are made with simple stitches, or with lots of “negative space” - in other words, patterns with holes. Big bobbles might show up, but cables and texture will all blend in.
