A bright mix of aqua, coral pink, lilac and golden orange gives Multi Pixie Coral its playful colour. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a soft, velvety texture with short colour changes that create a lively variegated effect as you crochet or knit, making it particularly suited to plush toys, amigurumi and colourful crochet projects.
The colours change over relatively short sections of the strand, so the finished fabric has a mottled, multi-coloured appearance rather than distinct stripes. Aqua and coral pink provide the strongest contrast, while lilac and golden orange appear between them to add further variation. The finished effect will depend on the stitches, tension and project size, with smaller projects showing several colours together and larger pieces allowing the individual shades to spread out more.
At 16ply, Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6, this is a thick chenille yarn that creates a substantial fabric and helps projects build relatively quickly. It sits between the 12ply Blanket Chenille and 20ply Mega Chenille ranges, making it a useful option when you want a chunky, plush texture without moving to the thickest chenille weight.
Multi Pixie Coral works particularly well for crochet plushies, amigurumi, stuffed animals, cushions, scarves and colourful blankets. The short colour changes are especially effective on smaller projects because several shades can appear within a relatively small area rather than forming large blocks of one colour. For amigurumi, using a smaller crochet hook can help create tighter stitches and a firmer finished shape.
The 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres. Because this is a thick yarn, larger blankets and throws can use yarn quickly, so check your pattern requirements by meterage when calculating how many balls you need.
