Lilac is a soft, dreamy purple making it a beautiful choice for cosy blankets, plush toys and other soft-textured projects. It has a delicate pastel feel without being overly pink, sitting nicely between a classic lilac and a soft lavender purple.
This soft chenille yarn has a wonderful texture that gives finished projects a cosy and luxurious feel. The gentle Lilac shade is particularly lovely for baby blankets, amigurumi, cushions and nursery projects, but it can also be used for larger blankets, rugs, accessories and other chunky makes.
About the Colour
Lilac has a soft pastel appearance that pairs beautifully with white, cream, pink, baby blue, sage green and deeper purple shades.
If you're looking for a lilac chenille yarn, lavender blanket yarn or a soft purple yarn for crochet, this is a great option for projects where you want the plush texture and cosy finish of popular chenille yarns. The soft Lilac colour makes it a lovely alternative for crafters who usually work with shades such as Bernat Baby Blanket Baby Lilac, Hobbii Honey Bunny Lilac or Premier Parfait Chunky Lilac, with the same appeal for chunky blankets, plushies, amigurumi and other soft crochet projects.
The Porta Craft Lilac shade works especially well in pastel colour palettes. Pair it with white or cream for a soft, understated look, or combine it with pinks, blues and purples when you want more colour and contrast.
