Soft and understated, Dove Grey is a light, muted grey with a very subtle green undertone that gives it a slightly cooler, more natural appearance than a plain neutral grey. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a plush, velvety texture that works beautifully for baby blankets, cushions, plush toys, amigurumi and modern neutral crochet projects.
The gentle green undertone makes Dove Grey particularly easy to pair with eucalyptus, sage, dusty greens and other natural shades, while it also works well with white, cream, ivory, taupe and soft pastels. It is lighter and less dramatic than charcoal or darker grey yarns, making it a useful choice when you want a neutral background that still has a little colour and character. As a solid colourway, it keeps the finished fabric consistent and allows stitch texture, shaping and colour combinations to remain easy to see.
The 16ply Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6 construction gives this yarn a thick, substantial finish while allowing projects to build up relatively quickly. It sits between the 12ply Blanket Chenille and 20ply Mega Chenille ranges, making it a useful choice when you want more bulk and a deeper plush texture than a standard blanket chenille without moving to the thickest yarn in the range.
Dove Grey is particularly well suited to crochet blankets, knitted throws, baby projects, cushions, scarves, plush toys and amigurumi. Its soft neutral colour also makes it a practical choice for modern home décor and projects where you want the texture of the chenille to be more prominent than the colour. For stuffed toys, a smaller crochet hook can be used to create tighter stitches and help the finished shape hold its form.
Each 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres. When planning larger blankets and throws, check the metre requirement of your pattern as chunky yarn uses more yarn per stitch than finer weights.
