Polyester

Estako Polyester Yarns

Polyester is a durable, soft, colorfast fiber that works up quickly and resists wear. Across the Estako range polyester appears in plush velvet chenille and in textured novelty yarns, and every shade is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 for textile safety.

Which Estako polyester yarn should you choose?

  • Velvet: 100% polyester chenille with a velvety hand, category #6 (Super Bulky), 100g / 132 yds. Ideal for blankets and plush amigurumi.
  • Velvet XL: a thicker 100% polyester chenille, category #6, 100g / 55 yds. For large toys, throws, and quick chunky projects.
  • Softy: a plush 100% polyester chenille, category #5 (Bulky), 100g / 98 yds. Soft for sweaters and winter accessories.

Caring for your polyester yarn

For chenille and velvet yarns, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle inside a wash bag, and never wring or twist them. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight, then fluff the pile with your fingers once dry to bring back the plush texture.
