Deep and rich, Chocolate is a dark cocoa brown with a warm, earthy quality. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a soft, velvety texture that makes it particularly useful for teddy bears, plush animals, amigurumi, chunky blankets, cushions and cosy home décor.
The colour sits deeper than a medium tan or caramel brown without being quite as close to black, giving projects a warm, natural-looking finish. Chocolate works especially well with ivory, cream, beige, taupe and other earthy shades, while lighter colours can be used to create contrast. It is also a practical shade for animal crochet where a rich brown is needed for the main body, ears or other details.
At 16ply, Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6, this yarn creates thick, full stitches and a substantial fabric while helping projects work up faster than finer yarn weights. It sits between the 12ply Blanket Chenille and 20ply Mega Chenille ranges, giving you a chunky chenille yarn that has plenty of bulk without the extra thickness of the 20ply option.
Solid Chocolate is especially suited to crochet teddy bears, plush animals, amigurumi, cushions, blankets and scarves. The dark brown colour is also useful for woodland animals, dogs and other soft toy designs. For amigurumi, using a smaller crochet hook helps create tighter stitches and can reduce gaps where the stuffing would otherwise be visible.
The 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres. As chunky yarn uses more metres per stitch, check your pattern's meterage when working out quantities for blankets and other larger projects.
