Drape, fibre and texture
Both yarns share the same fibre family: Hobbii Honey Bunny is 100 % polyester and Premier Yarns Just Chenille is 100 % polyester, so they wash, block and wear in a similar way.

Hook size and gauge
The ball bands recommend 6–7 mm for Hobbii Honey Bunny and 8 mm for Premier Yarns Just Chenille, with no hook size in common. Substituting one for the other will change the fabric, so swatch with each yarn's own hook and recalculate your stitch counts.
Their reference gauges differ: Hobbii Honey Bunny gives 9 stitches and Premier Yarns Just Chenille gives 11 stitches in 10 cm. Over 100 stitches that is about 111.1 cm versus 90.9 cm, so check your gauge and adjust the hook before starting a fitted piece.
