[@Jennifer_nicole]

Thanks for your shares Katherine and you're welcome! Which colors did you get?

[@katherinegomez5364]

Pink and Blue! Going back for the other two colors you have lol Your views on this jumped from when I posted this. I have a feeling it has to do with the overwhelming thanks i got for sharing your vid. Photographers in my group just LOVED it. Even already made them just a few hours after posting. You did awesome teaching! Thanks again!

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Katherine Gomez that’s awesome! I’d love to check out your page and group. I went to look you up, and there are a few Katherine Gomez’s. Link meeeeeee ❤️

[@katherinegomez5364]

[@Jennifer_nicole]

[@sandranalley2455]

These are even more beautiful in person

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Sandra Nalley thanks mom!

[@panosproductionsphotograph7135]

OMG. It took me a couple of starts, but I got it. I tried 12 rows and ran out of yarn. So, 10 works best with the Hobby Lobby Skeins IMO. Thank you so much. Can't wait to use on my newborn girl shoot tomorrow.

[@merycastro4704]

I’m going to try this out , looks fun and easy to make ❤.

[@prodigygirl1]

What is the weight of the skein?

[@jasminenew-robinson9021]

This is a great video! Thank you! Where did you find the brown colored yarn? Was this also hobby lobby! I do not see this color on the website or in stores.

[@Jennifer_nicole]

It was from Hobby Lobby, but it was 2 or 3 years ago. I’m not sure if they still have it. ♥️

[@jasminenew-robinson9021]

Ok so all colors shown in the intro were from hobby lobby?

[@sinethembaotusanya]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@Jennifer_nicole]

You’re welcome!!

[@erikarichardson1]

Great job on the tutorial!

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Thank you!!!

[@TheBakersOfficialYT]

I love this! I'm wondering if you know how to make round ones?! I'm very interested in learning that way as well. Thanks for sharing this (:

[@Jennifer_nicole]

The Bakers so glad!! When you say the round ones, which type are you referring to? If you email me a pic I can probably figure it out and make a new tutorial! [e-mail]

[@RityDIY]

Super cute!!!

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Thanks!!

[@excelclasses2008]

Could you please tell me the measurements of this blanket? TIA

[@Jennifer_nicole]

I believe they were like 18 inches x 20 inches or something like that. It’s in the video somewhere. Probably at the beginning or the end.

[@louielyngarcia8266]

How do you clean this type of material?

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Let soak and then hand wash gently. Lay flat to dry

[@louielyngarcia8266]

@@Jennifer_nicole thank you!

[@brittanyb5204]

Does the wool need to be felted before construction?

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Hi Brittany! I felted a batch, and it didn’t make any difference in the yarn. I think it’s because this is mainly a synthetic blend.

[@daleklauss2501]

What was the finished size of your blanket? How many balls would it take to make one big enough for full size bed?

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Dale Klauss hey! These come in at about 17in x 21in or any variation thereof if you wanted it longer rather than wider. I made a bed runner for a full sized bed and I used 9 skeins. Now I made it way too wide accidentally (not thinking of how the sides would pull down), so for full size I would start at 9 skeins and maybe have to go up from there. Try 30 stitches across.

[@gilmerpuckett5727]

Hello! I was wondering if these would be soft and durable enough to use as a baby blanket? I have searched and searched for chenille this large or tube yarn cheap enough to make a baby blankst but no luck!

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Hey! No I wouldn’t use these as a baby blanket, but just as a prop or for show. I got my chunky chenille yarn from hobby lobby, but Walmart and target have it now too. I have a video using it as a pillow cover I believe. It’s just as thick as this yarn.

[@sadhanaphotography1529]

Amazing video, I don’t have much to invest now, started making few of my own stuffs by watching videos. Thank you very much. I am getting it tomorrow 😁, is one yarn bundle good for one full blanket for baby ? Please update if you see this comment

[@Jennifer_nicole]

1 ball makes a small blanket for baby. Mainly to be used as a photo prop ❤️

[@sadhanaphotography1529]

Jennifer Nicole in the video I thought you used 2 balls, thank you I’ll try mine tomorrow and definitely tag you in my future picture when used

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Sadhana Photography this blanket you only need 1. But I do have other videos featuring more than 1 and how to combine the yarn. My favorite that I’ve done is the herringbone stitch. So pretty!!!

[@michelleschutta202]

Thank you for tutorial

[@Jennifer_nicole]

You're welcome!! I've made a large blanket in that same yarn, and as soon as I get it all set up for pictures I will upload the video!

[@Jeenfroot]

How many of these yarn rolls would I need to make a full decorative blanket?

[@Jennifer_nicole]

I made a normal throw and I used 7 skeins I believe. You will want to measure how big you want it and calculate.

[@bubutina83]

hi thank you for sharing. would you please tell how much weight did you use for this? I'm going to buy the yarn on line and it's sold by weight. thanks

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Yarn weight is 7, skein weight is 10 oz, 26 yards. I used 1 skein from hobby lobby, and You can actually clock the link in the description to get taken to that yarn for more info ❤️

[@jadechong7142]

Thank you for this, can you measure the size or let me know if this will be big enough for a sitter?

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Jade Chong 17x21 inches, so I think so! ❤️

[@sadhanaphotography1529]

Is there any other brand other than yarn bee, couldn’t find it in my place, confused which one to buy

[@Jennifer_nicole]

You can get whatever brand you want, but I recommended yarn bee from Hobby Lobby in the video because it is the cheapest. You can also order online.

[@sadhanaphotography1529]

Jennifer Nicole I meant the fluff, couldn’t find that fluff in other, I am in micheals I am spinning 😂

[@Jennifer_nicole]

@@sadhanaphotography1529 Michael's big yarn is made by Loops and Threads. I'm not sure which fluff you mean. Is it from a different video? I do use fluff but I make it out of yarn as well.

[@esleahalura4385]

Did you only use one skein here? I bought the showstopper yarn like you said, but when trying to make loops this big it’s not enough.

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Esleah Alura yes! I like to make my loops about 2-2.5 inches after the foundation chain. If your loops are bigger you may want to go down a row or only make 9 in the chain.

[@k.e.M_]

Can you wash these blankets??

[@Jennifer_nicole]

Hi!! I hand wash mine. Just throw them in the bathtub or sink, be gentle, then let them soak a bit. Lay flat to dry.
