I bought a skein of a lovely colorway of Homespun Thick & Quick years ago because it was so pretty. It sat in my yarn stash taunting me! Six months ago I found a scarf pattern using a simple v-stitch and made it up. It is so long and gorgeous and squishy. Your tips were spot on! Thanks.
Another issue with Velvet and other chenille yarns is the construction. There are usually two fine threads which grasp the fluff as they are plied. They can be easy to break depending on the fiber. While working with a smaller hook or needle is a good tip, if you find you constantly have to tug the yarn to complete a stitch, do it gently so the yarn doesn't break.
I avoid yarns that are super textured. Scrubby is too difficult for me to use, but I will try to crochet with it after seeing this. Also, the Velvet yarn was not easy ti frog, and when I did, I found some of the fluff fell away. I wanted to use it for Amigurumi. Thorough video
