Plush yarn with similar yardage. Yarn comparison.

It happens that you really need to knit something from a specific type of yarn, but you don't have the right one on hand. Comparisons like this are very useful.

For example, Himalaya Dolphin Fine is a very good and high-quality yarn. This yarn has an excellent yardage of 175 meters per 100 grams, it is polyester, the thread does not shed, it glides well on the crochet hook, and it comes in pleasant shades. But what to do when you don't have exactly this yarn?

Jina Dolphin is a suitable replacement for Himalaya Dolphin Fine. The thread sheds, but with a little skill, everything works out fine. It costs 150 rubles per skein in stores, and 20-30 rubles cheaper from online suppliers. The yardage is 120 meters/100 grams; the thread is simply heavier and not as elastic. I want to note right away that it is difficult to knit with this yarn; the crochet hook struggles to pull the thread through the loop.

Of course, there is YarnArt Velour. It is a coarse thread, somewhat similar to chenille, but chenille is a million times softer. The yardage is 170 meters per 100 grams. It feels thinner, but behaves similarly when knitting. It costs about 150-170 rubles per skein in stores, and 145 rubles from online suppliers. The thread glides well, but it sheds.

Also, Alize Softy Plus can be highlighted as having similar yardage. 120 meters/100 grams, price is 105 rubles from an online supplier. I won't comment on Softy, you already know it. The only thing is that Softy Plus is easy to knit with, and the stitches are visible.
