Warm and natural, Solid Cream is a soft off-white with a gentle creamy undertone rather than a bright, stark white. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a plush, velvety finish that works beautifully for baby blankets, plush toys, teddy bears, cushions and neutral crochet projects.
Cream is an especially useful neutral when pure white feels too cool or harsh. It pairs easily with beige, taupe, brown, eucalyptus, sage and other earthy shades, while pastel pinks, blues and lilacs create softer baby and nursery colour combinations. The solid colour also gives textured stitches a consistent background and can be used alongside almost any other shade in the range.
The 16ply Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6 weight creates thick stitches and a substantial fabric while allowing projects to build relatively quickly. It sits between the 12ply Blanket Chenille and 20ply Mega Chenille ranges, making it a useful middle weight for projects where you want a chunky, plush result without going to the thickest chenille yarn.
Solid Cream is particularly suited to crochet blankets, baby blankets, teddy bears, plush animals, amigurumi, cushions and throws. It can be used as a main colour for a neutral project or combined with stronger shades to soften and balance a colour palette. For stuffed toys, a smaller hook can be used to create tighter stitches and help the filling stay contained.
Each 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres. For larger blankets and throws, calculate the amount required from the pattern's meterage rather than ball weight alone, as the 16ply construction can use yarn quickly.
