Deep and versatile, Solid Dark Grey is a rich charcoal grey that sits between a traditional dark grey and black. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a soft, velvety texture that works particularly well for blankets, cushions, plush toys, amigurumi and modern home décor.
The charcoal tone gives you the depth of a dark neutral without the stark contrast of black. It works especially well with white, ivory, cream, silver grey and softer muted colours, while also providing a strong base for brighter shades. As a solid colourway, it creates an even finish that allows stitch patterns and texture to remain easy to see.
At 16ply, Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6, this chenille yarn produces thick stitches and a substantial fabric while allowing projects to build up relatively quickly. It sits between the 12ply Blanket Chenille and 20ply Mega Chenille ranges, making it a useful option when you want a substantial chunky texture without moving to the largest yarn weight.
Solid Dark Grey is particularly useful for chunky crochet blankets, throws, cushions, scarves, plush toys, amigurumi and contemporary home décor. The charcoal shade is also practical for darker soft toys and projects where black would feel too stark. For stuffed toys, using a smaller crochet hook can create tighter stitches and help the finished shape remain firm.
The 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres. For larger blankets and throws, check the meterage requirements of your pattern when calculating how many balls you need, as the thick construction uses yarn relatively quickly.
