The German name for this stitch is "Reliefstäbchen" - just like the reliefs in art :) I learnt it a year ago when I made a "waffle scrubbie", the stitch is quite easy and you can really make interesting textures with it.
It only looks fluffy - crocheting with it is hell. Knitting works because there the yarn doesn't tangle that much. I once made a post about this yarn, I think. It's available from Red Heart as well, the German company Schachenmair only imported it (and put it into smaller skeins).
Oh, thank you for sharing that photo - I am yet to make a waffle scrubbie, @muscara... I really like that fluffly yarn :D

😁 I remember @neumannsalva told me about it ages ago, but I still haven't bought any to try it, @muscara.
