Chunky Chenille Yarn 200g 58m 16ply - Solid Dark Blue

Deep and rich, Dark Blue is a dark navy-toned blue that gives projects the depth of a dark neutral without becoming black. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a soft, velvety finish that works particularly well for blankets, cushions, plush toys, scarves and modern home décor.

Dark Blue is a useful choice when black feels too stark but a mid-blue is not deep enough. It works particularly well with white, cream, grey and silver, while mustard, rust, coral and lighter blues create stronger contrast. The dark shade also makes the plush texture of chenille easy to notice, especially in simple stitches and larger patterns.

The 16ply Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6 construction produces a thick fabric and allows projects to grow quickly without moving to the larger 20ply Mega Chenille. With approximately 58 metres in a 200g ball, it is particularly useful for cushions, throws, accessories and smaller chunky projects, while large blankets will generally need multiple balls.

For crochet toys and amigurumi, a smaller hook can be useful when a firm fabric is needed. For blankets and cushions, the recommended 15mm hook gives a softer, more open result and allows the chenille pile to create much of the finished texture.

Why choose Dark Blue?

• Deeper than a standard blue without being black
• Easy to pair with both warm and cool colours
• Solid colour keeps multi-colour projects easy to plan
• Thick 16ply yarn creates a substantial, plush fabric
• Suitable for both home décor and soft toy projects
