A chainette yarn is a yarn that is created by knitting a tube from a fine strand of yarn. This makes the yarn extremely light and fluffy. The chainette construction has several benefits: Chainettes are extremely light, yet at the same time warm, because they hold a lot of air (which is actually an insulator). Chainettes don't split when you're working with them. Because they are so light, chainettes typically have longer yardage than other yarns of the same thickness. Chainettes tend to have a bit more elasticity and give, because they are already knitted. You can play around with needle size and tension because the yarn can be squished down or allowed to bloom. Because they are already knitted, chainettes tend to have a little bit of texture built-in.
