Soft but more defined than a pale lilac, Lavender is a mid-tone purple with a fresh, balanced appearance. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a soft, velvety texture that works well for crochet plushies, amigurumi, blankets, cushions, accessories and colourful home décor.
Lavender sits between a pale lilac and a deeper purple, giving it enough colour to stand out while remaining easy to combine with other shades. It pairs naturally with white, cream, grey and silver, while soft pink, mint and pale blue create a pastel palette. The solid colour is also useful when you want the texture and shaping of your stitches to remain clear without a variegated colour effect competing with the pattern.
The 16ply Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6 construction creates thick stitches and a substantial fabric while helping projects work up faster than finer yarn weights. This places it between the 12ply Blanket Chenille and 20ply Mega Chenille ranges, providing a chunky option that is substantial without being as oversized as the 20ply yarn.
Solid Lavender is particularly suitable for amigurumi, plush toys, dolls, chunky blankets, cushions, scarves and baby or children's projects. It is also a useful shade for fantasy-inspired makes, flowers and decorative pieces where you want more colour depth than a very pale lilac. When making stuffed toys, a smaller crochet hook can be used to create tighter stitches and help the finished shape stay firm.
Each 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres. For larger blankets and throws, calculate your yarn requirements from the pattern's meterage rather than the ball weight, as thick chenille can use yarn quickly.
