A soft, dusty green inspired by eucalyptus foliage, Solid Eucalyptus has a muted appearance with a subtle grey quality rather than a bright or highly saturated green. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a plush, velvety texture that works particularly well for blankets, plush toys, baby projects, cushions and natural-toned home décor.
Eucalyptus sits comfortably between muted green and soft grey, making it an easy shade to combine with other colours. It works particularly well with cream, ivory, beige and taupe, while dusty pink, soft blue and lilac can create a gentler colour palette. As a solid colourway, it also keeps the finished fabric consistent, allowing stitch texture, shaping and colour combinations to remain easy to see.
The 16ply Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6 construction creates thick stitches and allows projects to build up faster than they would with a finer chenille yarn. It sits between the 12ply Blanket Chenille and 20ply Mega Chenille ranges, making it a useful middle option for projects that need a substantial plush texture without the extra bulk of a larger yarn weight.
Solid Eucalyptus is particularly suited to crochet blankets, knitted throws, cushions, scarves, baby makes and soft toys. The natural green is also well suited to woodland and Australian wildlife-inspired projects, while its muted tone makes it easy to use as the main colour in a larger blanket or home décor piece. For amigurumi and stuffed toys, a smaller crochet hook can help create firmer stitches and keep the filling from showing through.
The 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres. For larger blankets and throws, use your pattern's required meterage when working out how many balls to purchase, as thick yarn can use metres quickly.
