The invention discloses basalt fiber chenille yarn which comprises two strands of center yarn and camlet, wherein the camlet is made of basalt fiber or blended yarn formed by the combination of the basalt fiber and one or more of quartz glass fiber, high silica glass fiber, aluminum silicate fiber, polyamide-imide fiber, polyether-ether-ketone fiber, polyphenylene sulfide fiber, polysulfone amide fiber, poly-p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole fiber, polybenzimidazole fiber, polytetrafluoroethylene fiber, polyimide fiber and aramid fiber, and the two strands of center yarn are twisted together to clamp the camlet between the two strands of center yarn. The basalt fiber chenille yarn has the advantages that the basalt fiber is purely inorganic, resistant to high temperature, high in strength, good in heat dissipation performance and air permeability, resistant to mildew and moth, free of static electricity, and capable of restraining the growth of bacteria in an unique way and resisting ultraviolet penetration effectively, and the manufactured basalt chenille yarn is even in yarn levelness, high in spinnability, and soft with the basalt fiber serving as the camlet.
