Chunky Chenille Yarn 200g 58m 16ply - Solid Lemon

Think chicks, ducklings, flowers, sunshine and cheerful baby makes. Solid Lemon is a soft pastel yellow that brings colour without the intensity of a strong primary yellow, and this 16ply chunky chenille yarn gives those projects a thick, plush finish.

The shade is light and sunny rather than neon or golden, making it particularly easy to use in children's crochet and baby projects. Pair it with white or cream for a soft pastel look, pink and lavender for a baby palette, or green for leaves, frogs and other character details. It also works well as an accent colour in blankets and cushions when a project needs a little brightness.

The 16ply Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6 weight means projects build up quickly in large, full stitches. This can be particularly useful for beginners learning crochet because the stitches are large and easy to see, while the chenille pile disguises small inconsistencies in tension better than a smooth yarn can.

For plush toys and amigurumi, use a smaller crochet hook to create tighter stitches and a firmer shape. The same yarn can then be used with the larger recommended hook for blankets, cushions and looser projects where softness and speed are more important. The 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres.
