After the video I decided to go purchase some of the Big Twist Posh and I have to say I am a FAN!! I love working with it. I was able to make corrections without it deteriorating before my eyes like some of the other chenille yarn. It definitely is like a cross between bernat blanket and chenille and I am fine with that! I purchased your ice cream cone pattern as I've been wanting to make some and it turned out great!! I do hope they come out with more color choices but all I have to say is Big Twist, well done!! Thanks again for sharing your video!
Thank you for the review! As someone who typically dislikes chenille yarn, I'm on the hunt to find the perfect chenille yarn for me. I will definitely be checking this one out to see if it works out! Happy New Year!
I love this yarn so much!!! I’ve been using a 5mm hook with it and I hit the ends when I cut it with a lighter real quick and it seals it so it doesn’t shed at all!!
Thanks for the review. I've been crocheting for about 10 years as a hobby but as trying to step up my game to start doing markets. I have been wondering which yarns work best for plushies so this was extremely helpful! Thank you! I love watching your videos 😊
Hi Allison. Thank you for your review. Before I saw any reviews on chenille yarn, I bought some last week to try. I have never used chenille before. I saw this big twist posh at Joanns and it had the colors that I needed for my project and it was on sale. It is on sale right now for $5.99. I LOVE THIS YARN❣️It's very soft, glides smoothly + works up very well. I don't want to go back to basic yarns. CHENILLE FOR EVERYTHING............❣️Oh ,ya, and no shedding. I would like to try the parfait yarn, so I will look into where I can get that. Thanks again! Your wall of pets behind you are WONDERFUL ❣️❣️ Happy Crocheting ❣️
I also use Parfait Chunky, it's so soft and squishy. I'm going to look for this the next time I go to Joann's. I have used Joann's Big Twist Plush and it is really nice to work with and turns out great. I used it to make your flower pillow for my granddaughter for Christmas, which she loved. Thank you for reviewing this yarn for us. Have a wonderful day!😊
Happy New Year Allison! And great review. I was going to order it but when I went to the store and saw it, I thought it was too thin. You (and yarn and whimsy) may have changed my mind😊
Thank you for the review of this yarn. Will have to pick up a few. Especially when they are on sale. Hope you enjoy your new year and looking forward to future videos as well.
Thank you for reviewing this! I already have a few of these on the way after hearing about it online so glad you ended up liking it! Love that the skeins are twice as big as parfait chunky so for colors like white and brown that I always run out of this will be awesome
Happy new year! First of all, your cones are adorable ❤ went out and bought this yarn last night, on sale , plus had a coupon 15$ off my purchase 😮😊 ive always worked with bernat, giving this a try and i love it! Thx for your video!!
Thank you so much for this video. I got around Xmas time couple of skeins but did not get a chance to use them yet. I am so happy you like it. I am sure I will too. I definitely love the colors they offer.
Hi Crochet Wonder let me say I came across this yarn before Christmas and I love it. I’m making a pink panther for my husband and so far I love it. When I bought it I got it on sale as well. It work up so well and yes it does not shed much at all feels good on my hands with working with it and I don’t have a problem with hiding the stuffing because it covers well.
Great review, thanks so much! I think it would be fun to try a project Like your flower frog with maybe the posh yarn for the frog, and then the pretty parfait yarn for the petals. I’m excited to at least play around with it and see!
I just picked this yarn up yesterday and also decided to make your mini cone! I almost bought the mint but decided to go with the white and make "sprinkles" with some worsted weight yarn. I've only used the Parfait Chunky for one small project and now this. I'm really liking it. I like being able to buy it local, but as you mentioned the colors are limited. I haven't used either enough to compare the two brands, but I'm glad I found this. Will definitely go back for more colors.
Happy New Year 🎆. I’m so glad I found you, your sweet smile makes me happy!!! Guess I live under a rock…had no clue that big twist has a plushie yarn. I placed orders for both…like you said it’s nice to have a local place to purchase when in a crunch 🥰. Can’t wait for 2024🥰
Really great review. Showing all the colours available is really helpful. I need red but apparently there isn't one. I've been hearing about this yarn so much. Now some of it is finally being restocked but I'd have to travel to the US to get it.
Thank you so much for your review! , I hate bernat blanket 😅 i have one one that I like its a blue mix, its so much different than the others. But its nice to know there isnt something wrong with me! I also wasnt a fan of Chevelle yarn from it falling apart i was thinking there wasnt a bulky yarn for me! Definitely going to try this!
I'm interested to try it! I love Bernat Blanket, but there is definitely a big difference between that and actual chenille yarn. (Personally, I can't figure out why so many people love the Parfait so much- it sheds SO bad compared to Honey Bunny!) Think I may go grab some this weekend! Thank you for the review!
I LOVED this yarn!! I had the purple one and made some adorable little bunnies and a conversation heart pillow. Makes sooo much with that amount it comes with! And it doesn’t shed like basically AT ALL!! I bought some of the Premier Chenille yarn after this big twist cuz I loved it and wanted to just go for it finally and can’t even with the shedding I had to deal with😓😵💫
you’re just like me with yarn preference!! i like the big twist because it doesn’t shed and is easy to pull and frog, but its thinner so i have to use my 8 hook for my plushies to be the same size as my plushies i make with my 6 hook. i dont like bernat because it feels so ugh!
I just made a huge purchase of this same yarn! I’m going to work something up and see if I like it. Bernat blanket hurts my hands so I’m hoping this is a good option. Thanks for your review.
Hi! You are brand new to me tonight and am so enjoying doing sort of a mini marathon of some of your vids before bed. I want to learn amigurumi this year so trying to get some tips and tricks etc. from some dif channels. I sub'd and liked. What is the difference between chenille and the velvet type yarns? Tia and thanks for sharing your talent and creativity. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Allison! Like you I really dislike Bernat Blanket Yarn. Just too difficult to work with! Parfait chunky is my favorite, but lately the quality has been really bad. I’m willing to give this one a try since I have a Joann’s close by. Thanks for your honest review!!
Hi ! This is my first video of yours and it was such a good review i definitely plan on heading to my joanns to try this yarn. Also im curious where you found yourg duolino plush hes so cute!
Thanks for the review! I haven’t tried the Big Twist Posh yet, but I did try the Big Twist Plush and really love it, it’s big soft and fluffy. And it doesn’t fall apart like some others that I have tried. Have you tried the Plush? Do you like it?
I love parfait xl. I really want to love parfait chunky....I have so much of it! But for some reason my amigurumi never comes out tight enough despite the hook size I use and you can always see the stuffing. I've keep using snuggles or Snuggle lite and parfait xl without issues.
I knit a 42" chest, long sleeved sweater and only used 3.3 skeins of this yarn. The ball band suggested that I get 6 skeins for an adult sweater. I saved my receipt and returned two. Sheesh! It does shed a bit when you cut it and if you aren't paying attention, the core will unravel and you get a thread and piles of fluff to vacuum up.
I LOVE the Posh! I found it on accident and picked up a few... I dislike parfait chunky only because I feel like it's hard to frog. I really just wish the Posh came in more colors
That’s one thing yarn reviewers always leave out- how the yarn works when you mess up! Would you say the Posh is easier to frog? (I tried Parfait Chunky and swore it off after wasting so much after making tiny mistakes with a new pattern.)
Thank you for such a detailed review! My Joann’s doesn’t have it in store yet (of course while there is a sale going on but that’s another story lol) so I didn’t know what to expect. I was super disappointed in premier parfait because you can’t MR with it and it sheds HORRIBLY. Would this be worth it if you could only get it full price?
It feels like memory foam to me too! It’s such a weird texture. I got it right when it came out on Joann’s website and was hoping it would be similar to parfait chunky, sweet snuggle lite, chenille home slim. But it is not nearly as soft, and it doesn’t have that luxury shine. I think it would be great for a bath math, or for crocheting baskets.
I have only tried a chenille yarn one time years ago & I hated it. I had so much trouble with "worming". I swore never again! It was a nice chenille from Germany, but, awful to use! Have the chenille yarns gotten easier to use... no more "worming"? I don't want to waste money again. Thanks.
@@wondercrochet if you don’t mind me asking you have you ever an Indian brand blanket yarn here in India I use a brand name Ganga blankie yarn and let me tell they really sooo soft and they fuzz out much and are easy to work with if you ever find the Ganga blankie yarn than do give it a try
I can't get behind anything Big Twist puts out. They push it out and it's in stock for a month or two and then they discontinue it. I had skeins of the Tranquil line, which was beautiful to work with and ended up selling what I had because I couldn't get more for future projects.
Love the yarn. Wish they had better colors like a basic red, darker purple, rose pink, gold not yellow, like home decor colors not cutesy spring colors
Only problem is ordering from Joann has become a nightmare. They have cancelled my whole order or didn’t have half of what they said was in. I won’t order anymore.
Premier parfait chunky shed a lot I mean like a lot! A buy that brand because I see a lot of videos talking about this brand but the truth is that it sheds a lot and I don’t like it! Definitely prefer use loops and threads lite and is way better more soft and more tick than the premier parfait chunky !🤷🏻♀️

I love this yarn so much!!! I’ve been using a 5mm hook with it and I hit the ends when I cut it with a lighter real quick and it seals it so it doesn’t shed at all!!
YES!!! I LOVE crocheting with this yarn so much!!

I love this yarn! I'm making a blanket for my daughter right now with it and it is so soft when it is worked up.
Just got some of this for my mom over the holidays! She loves it. Also got her the sparkle type. Both are beautiful.
Thank you so much for an honest review. I appreciate all the details. Love your video as always.
Happy New Year. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! You too! 💜
Yay! I’m hoping i can go pick some up today!

Agreed! I wish the parfait chunky skeins were this size too!
Ooooh new chenille yarn! Thanks for the review, I'll definitely try this out (after I get rid of some of my current stash)
Happy new year! First of all, your cones are adorable ❤ went out and bought this yarn last night, on sale , plus had a coupon 15$ off my purchase 😮😊 ive always worked with bernat, giving this a try and i love it! Thx for your video!!
Love the review! Thank you! I will definitely give this one a try! 🙂
The ice cream cone is so cute!!!!❤ I have to check out the new yarn
Thank you so much for this video. I got around Xmas time couple of skeins but did not get a chance to use them yet. I am so happy you like it. I am sure I will too. I definitely love the colors they offer.
Got a bunch of these from a sale a week ago, tried a few colors. I am really enjoying how well these work as I crochet and love the colors
This is exciting news! So glad Joann's has come up with another plushy yarn. Thank you for the review Allison. I am going to check this out.
You are so welcome! I hope you enjoy it!
Hi Crochet Wonder let me say I came across this yarn before Christmas and I love it. I’m making a pink panther for my husband and so far I love it. When I bought it I got it on sale as well.

Great review, thanks so much! I think it would be fun to try a project Like your flower frog with maybe the posh yarn for the frog, and then the pretty parfait yarn for the petals. I’m excited to at least play around with it and see!
I absolutely love this yarn, works up about the same as parfait chunky. Very soft!
Wow, thanks for making this video! I'm loving the cone color better and definition with the Big Twist Posh. I'm definitely going to check it out!
Agreed, the cone color is great! I hope you like it!
Thank you so much for the review! I'll have to give it a try ❤
I just picked this yarn up yesterday and also decided to make your mini cone! I almost bought the mint but decided to go with the white and make "sprinkles" with some worsted weight yarn.

I bought the green and yellow to make tulips. Haven't made them yet but I'm excited to now.

I also wasnt a fan of Chevelle yarn from it falling apart i was thinking there wasnt a bulky yarn for me! Definitely going to try this!
i really like how it looks and i’m looking for a yarn that looks like chenille yarn but works more like blanket yarn. I’m definitely getting some!
I'm interested to try it! I love Bernat Blanket, but there is definitely a big difference between that and actual chenille yarn. (Personally, I can't figure out why so many people love the Parfait so much- it sheds SO bad compared to Honey Bunny!) Think I may go grab some this weekend! Thank you for the review!

I want it in Canada!!!!
Hiiiieeeee!😁👋👋 I'm loving your videos and thank you for them. By any chance do you have a tutorial for the ice cream cones?
Thank you! The ice cream cone pattern is in my shop :)
How do you prevent shedding when you work in the tails on your projects?
I’m loving seeing everyone’s opinions on it!
Me too! I was surprised I liked it!
I knit a 42" chest, long sleeved sweater and only used 3.3 skeins of this yarn. The ball band suggested that I get 6 skeins for an adult sweater. I saved my receipt and returned two. Sheesh! It does shed a bit when you cut it and if you aren't paying attention, the core will unravel and you get a thread and piles of fluff to vacuum up.
I hope they come out with Red. Premier just chenille cones doesnt have red and it drives me crazy. I hope posh has a red soon
I'm soo glad your back! I use alot of.the big twist worsted weight and its one of my favorites can you please make an axolotl next?
I’m happy to be back! 😁 I’ll have to add it to the list!
they all nice colors
I LOVE the Posh! I found it on accident and picked up a few... I dislike parfait chunky only because I feel like it's hard to frog. I really just wish the Posh came in more colors

So sad our Joann's is closing. We're not gonna have nothing except for Walmart and hobby. Lobby, thank you for sharing.
So sad! At least you could still order online!
Thank you for such a detailed review! My Joann’s doesn’t have it in store yet (of course while there is a sale going on but that’s another story lol) so I didn’t know what to expect. I was super disappointed in premier parfait because you can’t MR with it and it sheds HORRIBLY. Would this be worth it if you could only get it full price?
Yes I think it still would be worth it! Especially if you hate chenille yarn that sheds, this would be good to try out!
Hi! just a quick question, do you struggle with new patterns, because i always mess up the pattern the first times, thanks!
I like big twist blanket for chunky stuff! It’s better and a little thicker than bernat
Did you state/compare the cost. I totally missed it
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I saw it in store - it was a bit thinner than i was expecting
I feel like it shouldn’t be used for this but that yarn feels like it would make a great bath mat. it almost feels memory foam-like.
That would be a fun idea! It feels like it would hold up well in the wash too
It feels like memory foam to me too! It’s such a weird texture. I got it right when it came out on Joann’s website and was hoping it would be similar to parfait chunky, sweet snuggle lite, chenille home slim. But it is not nearly as soft, and it doesn’t have that luxury shine. I think it would be great for a bath math, or for crocheting baskets.

Have the chenille yarns gotten easier to use... no more "worming"?
I don't want to waste money again.
Thanks.
Really love those yarn colours a lot but I wish i could get these yarns here in India too
I wish you could too!
@@wondercrochet if you don’t mind me asking you have you ever an Indian brand blanket yarn here in India I use a brand name Ganga blankie yarn and let me tell they really sooo soft and they fuzz out much and are easy to work with if you ever find the Ganga blankie yarn than do give it a try
Have you tried Big Twist Plushie yarn?
Evening hun
Where can I get that ice cream pattern?
It’s in my shop, check the video description :)
Found it, thank you!
THE LINK FOR THE ICE CREAM CONE IS NOT WORKING
It’s working now, try refreshing
I can't get behind anything Big Twist puts out. They push it out and it's in stock for a month or two and then they discontinue it. I had skeins of the Tranquil line, which was beautiful to work with and ended up selling what I had because I couldn't get more for future projects.
No hype for me in Europe 😅
Checked out this yarn wow it’s really expensive for what you get.

Nao entendo sua língua 😢 nao tem tradutor
Did yours come in super bulky #6 or in bulky #5? Online it says it’s a 6 weight but package when received says 5 🫤
Yeah I contacted Joann and asked which one it is and they said it’s a #6, they messed up the labels
