Soft and muted, Solid Mauve is a dusty pink-purple shade with more depth than a pale lilac and less intensity than a strong purple. This 16ply chunky chenille yarn has a plush, velvety texture that works particularly well for blankets, plush toys, amigurumi, cushions and soft, understated colour palettes.
Mauve sits comfortably between dusty pink and muted purple, making it a useful alternative when you want something softer than a bright pink but warmer than a traditional lavender. It works well with cream, ivory, taupe and grey, while combinations with eucalyptus, sage, dusty blue and other muted shades create a more natural palette. As a solid colour, it also keeps stitch texture and shaping clear across the finished project.
At 16ply, Super Chunky / Super Bulky 6, this chenille yarn creates thick, full stitches and a substantial fabric while helping projects work up faster than finer yarns. It sits between the 12ply Blanket Chenille and 20ply Mega Chenille ranges, giving you a chunky option with a plush finish without moving up to the thickest yarn weight.
Solid Mauve is particularly suited to crochet blankets, baby projects, plushies, amigurumi, cushions, scarves and children's accessories. It is also a useful shade for dolls, flowers and decorative crochet where a muted pink-purple colour is needed. For stuffed toys, using a smaller crochet hook can create tighter stitches and help maintain the shape once the project is filled.
Each 200g ball contains approximately 58 metres. For larger blankets and throws, check your pattern's meterage requirement when calculating quantities, as the thick 16ply construction uses yarn relatively quickly.
