Soft and pastel, Solid Lilac is a light lavender-toned purple with a gentle, muted appearance. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a plush, velvety texture that is particularly suited to amigurumi, plush toys, baby blankets, cushions and soft crochet projects.
Lilac is a lighter alternative to deeper purple and violet shades, making it useful when you want colour without a dark or heavily saturated finish. It pairs naturally with white, cream, ivory and grey, while soft pink, mint and pale blue create gentle pastel combinations. The solid colour also makes it a practical choice when you want stitch texture, shaping or colour placement to remain clearly visible.
At 16ply, Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6, this yarn creates thick, full stitches and allows projects to build up relatively quickly. It sits between the 12ply Blanket Chenille and 20ply Mega Chenille ranges, giving you a chunky yarn with a substantial plush finish without moving to the thickest chenille option.
Solid Lilac works particularly well for crochet plushies, amigurumi, dolls, baby blankets, cushions, scarves and chunky accessories. When making stuffed toys, using a smaller crochet hook can produce tighter stitches, helping the finished shape hold its form and reducing the chance of stuffing showing between stitches. For blankets and other projects where a softer, more open fabric is wanted, the recommended 15mm hook provides a useful starting point.
Each 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres. Larger blankets and throws will generally require several balls, so check the meterage required by your pattern rather than estimating quantities from ball weight alone.
