Chunky Chenille Yarn 200g 58m 16ply - Solid Crimson

Crimson sits on the deeper, richer side of red, with a strong ruby quality that gives it more depth than a bright classic red. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn combines that saturated colour with a soft, plush texture, making it especially effective for blankets, cushions, accessories, plush toys and decorative crochet.

If Solid Red is the clear, bright choice, Crimson is the more dramatic option. It has enough depth to work beautifully with cream, ivory, taupe, chocolate and charcoal, while still retaining the warmth expected from a rich red. It is particularly useful for projects where you want colour that feels substantial rather than playful or pastel.

The 16ply construction gives Crimson a Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6 weight, producing large stitches and a thick fabric that builds quickly. This makes it useful for cosy winter accessories, chunky cushions and throws, while the plush surface works equally well for stuffed animals and amigurumi.

For amigurumi, use a smaller crochet hook if you need tighter stitches around stuffing. For larger crochet or knitting projects, the recommended hook and needle sizes provide a starting point for a softer fabric. The 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres, so larger blankets should be planned by meterage rather than weight alone.

Where Crimson works well

Choose Crimson when you want a strong red that feels deeper and more sophisticated than a bright primary red. It works particularly well in winter colour palettes, rich neutral interiors, festive projects and plush toys where a deeper red adds definition.
