Deep and true, Solid Black gives chunky crochet and knitting projects a strong, clean finish with excellent contrast. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a soft, plush texture and is particularly useful for plush toys, amigurumi, blankets, cushions, accessories and projects where a bold dark colour is needed.
Black is one of the most versatile shades in the range and works equally well as a feature colour or alongside lighter yarns. It pairs naturally with white, ivory, grey, red, pink and bright colours, making it useful for colour-blocked blankets, character designs and decorative crochet. The solid shade also provides a consistent background for textured stitches and helps contrasting colours stand out clearly.
The 16ply Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6 weight produces thick stitches and a substantial fabric while helping projects build relatively quickly. It sits between the 12ply Blanket Chenille and 20ply Mega Chenille ranges, giving you a chunky chenille yarn that is thick enough for plush projects without the additional bulk of the 20ply weight.
Solid Black is particularly useful for amigurumi, plush animals, cushions, chunky blankets, scarves and character-inspired crochet projects. It can be used for entire projects or for smaller details such as ears, noses, eyes and other contrasting sections. For stuffed toys, a smaller crochet hook can help create tighter stitches and keep the filling from showing through.
Each 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres. When planning larger blankets and throws, calculate the amount required from your pattern's meterage, as chunky yarn can use metres quickly.
