Why choose HiMALAYA Dolphin Festival?
  • Chenille With Confetti Flecks: Dolphin Festival is a velvet chenille, 85% micro polyester and 15% polyamide, scattered with small multicolor flecks. Each 100 g ball holds 100 m and is labeled for 8 mm needles or hook.
  • Tweed Effect, One Strand: The colored flecks are part of the pile, so plain stockinette or single crochet turns sprinkled and tweedy without any color changes. At 9 crochet stitches per 10 cm, hats and scarves grow fast.
  • Playful Kids' Knits: Its playful flecks suit children's cardigans and blankets, berets, scarves and cozy home textiles, all projects Himalaya lists for it. The velvety, wool-free fabric is gentle at necklines and cuffs.
Description

Himalaya Dolphin Festival – Extra Plush Chenille

Himalaya Dolphin Festival is the thicker, more luxurious sibling of the classic Dolphin Baby. Its blend of 85% micro-polyester and 15% polyamide gives the chenille pile extra body and resilience, so the fabric keeps its shape and stays velvety wash after wash. At 100 g / 100 m it is a true super bulky yarn – projects grow fast and the finished surface is dense, smooth and beautifully soft to the touch.

💡 Pro Tip & Alternatives: Singe the yarn tip lightly with a lighter before joining to stop the ends from shedding.
Looking for a thinner version? Try Himalaya Dolphin Baby (100 g / 120 m) or Himalaya Velvet for a similar hand-feel.

🧶 Project Estimates:

  • Baby Blanket (approx. 30" x 30"): 6–7 balls.
  • Large Plush Toy: 2–3 balls.
  • Chunky Scarf: 2–3 balls.

Why choose Dolphin Festival?

  • Extra Density: The polyamide content makes the pile springier than standard chenille, so stitches stay full and even.
  • Gentle on Skin: Micro-polyester is hypoallergenic and warm without the itch of wool – safe for babies and sensitive skin.
  • Fast Results: A super bulky weight that works up quickly on 8 mm needles or hook – perfect for last-minute gifts.

TIPS & TRICKS

Pattern Tip: Keep to simple stitches such as garter, seed or single crochet: they show off the flecks and hold chenille loops in place better than stockinette. For cuffs and borders, Himalaya VELVET shares the same 8 mm label gauge, so a solid shade frames the confetti neatly.

HiMALAYA Dolphin Festival – NATALIA
Natalia
Since the yarn consists of two threads - black plush and thin colored yarn, it is necessary to take into account the tension when knitting. The yarn is very beautiful. I think that I will also knit such a dragon, but with a different additional color.

Beautiful, soft, tender threads, interesting toys are obtained. It doesn't go easy 😊

About Product

How many balls of Himalaya Dolphin Festival do I need for a throw?

Plan on about 16–19 balls for a 100 × 150 cm throw. That scales up the usual estimate of 6–7 balls for a 76 × 76 cm baby blanket, roughly 10–12 balls per square meter at 100 m per ball. Simple stitches use less than dense textures, so measure a swatch and round up.

How many balls of Dolphin Festival do I need for a hat?

One ball usually covers a child's beanie, and an adult hat often needs two, especially with a folded brim or a pompom. Super bulky hats typically use 80–150 m, and each ball of Dolphin Festival holds 100 m. On the label's 8 mm needles or hook, a hat works up in an evening.

Dolphin Festival vs Dolphin Baby Color: which multicolor chenille should I choose?

Dolphin Festival has a solid base with small multicolor flecks, 85% polyester and 15% polyamide, at 100 m per 100 g on 8 mm tools. HiMALAYA Dolphin Baby Color is 100% polyester at 120 m per 100 g, dyed so the whole strand changes color. Choose Festival for a sprinkled tweed look and Baby Color for shifting shades.

Is Himalaya Dolphin Festival safe for babies?

Yes. Himalaya Dolphin Festival is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and is wool-free, which suits baby blankets, cardigans and soft toys. For toys meant for children under three, use securely fixed safety eyes or embroider the features, and stitch every part and end firmly so nothing can be pulled off.
