    Tip #6 chenille is pronounced shuh-neel 😱😱😱
    I was today years old when I learned this. Also, English is not my first language 😤

      Lol, I wasn’t going to say it because English IS my first language and I still say plenty of words wrong……. Like Worcester. I just can’t say that right! Thanks for the great tips🤗

      Really? What’s your first language? And 😂😂 I wasn’t gonna say anything about how you pronounced it just in case you were actually pronouncing it correctly even though I’ve always heard it pronounced shuh- kneel. I didn’t want to be THAT person! 😂

      Hmm uhh🤔 chenille doesn’t have ply? Like there is not multiple strands spun together-it’s just 1 tube 😅 does that help maybe? What are you looking to find out?

    Great tips-especially number 1 & 5! The Lionbrand Naptime yarn is a 4 weight and it doesn’t shed or do what you showed in to number 3 I think it was? But because it’s a 4 weight , most plushie markers wouldn’t use that yarn! If only Lion Brand sold that yarn in bigger weights

    • @merrymakes
      @merrymakes  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oooh! I’ve seen that naptime yarn and it is so nice! Haha yeah 😅when I make plushies, I’m like “well, it could be small… or big… so big it is!!” I’ll have to treat myself to some naptime yarn though! TY for the rec! 🧶❤️

    Would you be able to make a video showing how you sew on the pieces? Do you just like... tie a piece of regular yarn onto the chenille or is there some other way to do it? Hopefully that makes sense. :) I'll be working with chenille yarn soon so I will take all this into account when I'm using it!

      Yes!! My next video goes into more detail on how I use regular yarn to sew chenille plushies together! ❤️thank you for your question!!!🥰🥰🥰

    About to start my very first project for grandchild gifts. At a loss for guessing how much to buy. What is a good WAG? #6 is the suggested size. 15” is the anticipated height.
