FANCY & NOVELTY YARNS
Texture that gives knitting character
Fancy and novelty yarns differ from smooth traditional yarns through their texture, loops, fringe, pile, sheen or bulk. They can be worked alone or alongside plain yarns to create distinctive fabric surfaces.
Historically, GSC Tekstil's ranges have featured eyelash, chenille, bouclé, mohair and ribbon-type yarns. For the latest collections and colorways, consult our brand and retail websites.
Common novelty yarn textures
Chenille yarns
Plush, velvety-feel yarns with different levels of volume and texture.
Bouclé yarns
Characteristic looped and uneven surfaces that add dimensional interest.
Sequin & sparkling yarns
Decorative yarns with reflective details for distinctive project accents.
Working with textured yarns
Depending on construction, novelty yarns may make individual stitches harder to see or unravel. It helps to knit a small swatch first, follow suggested needle or hook sizes and check each product's care guidance.
These are general yarn-family descriptions. Please consult the current product listings for specifications, colors and availability.
Common fancy yarn structures
Chenille
Chenille yarns feature a soft, pile-like surface. Stitch definition, shedding behavior and washing instructions vary by individual construction.
Eyelash and textured effects
Eyelash-type yarns have projecting fibers that create a fuzzy decorative surface. Metallic and other novelty effects may be combined with different base yarns. Compare appearance and care requirements before use.
Bouclé and loops
Bouclé yarns incorporate looped textures that create visual depth. When planning commercial orders, include the desired texture, color range and approximate quantities in a wholesale request.
