Bernat Blanket Yarn Ocean Teal Ombre — Super-Bulky Chenille 300g for Quick Plush Throws

Bring deep blues and sea-green gradients into your projects with this 300 g / 10.5 oz ombré ball from Bernat. The thick, soft texture is designed for quick-knit and quick-crochet items that look layered and hand-dyed without changing yarns. It’s ideal for throws, cushions, rugs and other cosy accents where stitch definition blends into a soft, velvety finish.

How fast can I finish a blanket with this yarn?

The super-bulky gauge dramatically reduces project time; a small throw can be completed in a weekend for experienced stitchers and a few evenings for beginners. The long yardage per ball and large needle/hook recommendations let you cover more area per stitch.

• Ball size: 300 g / 10.5 oz, 201 m / 220 yds
• Gauge: #6 Super Bulky for fast progress
• Knitting: 11 stitches × 13 rows on 8 mm needles
• Crochet: 7 stitches × 8 rows on 8 mm hook

What projects show off the ombré effect best?

The graduated Ocean Teal colorway is perfect where wide colour transitions make the biggest visual impact. Large-surface projects such as blankets, bed runners and sofa throws let the tonal shifts flow smoothly.

• Throw blankets and afghans for continuous colour flow
• Statement pillows and bolsters where banding is visible
• Floor rugs and poufs that benefit from plush texture
• Simple stitch patterns to emphasize colour gradient

How should I care for items made with this chenille yarn?

Bernat’s chenille-style yarn requires gentle handling to preserve plushness and prevent matting. Follow the yarn label care instructions and use mild washing methods to maintain loft and colour vibrancy.

• Gentle machine wash or hand wash per label guidance
• Tumble low or lay flat to dry to maintain shape
• Avoid rough agitation and high heat to prevent damage
• Use minimal or no ironing; steam through a cloth if needed

Which needles, hooks and stitch patterns work best?

Use large 8 mm needles or hooks for the recommended gauge to achieve the soft, drapey results that highlight the ombré. Simple textured stitches and openwork let the chunky yarn read clearly but avoid overly intricate lace that gets lost in the plush fibre.

• Recommended tools: 8 mm knitting needles or 8 mm crochet hook
• Good stitch choices: garter, single crochet, half-double crochet
• Avoid tiny, delicate stitches that disappear in chenille
• Test gauge with a swatch before committing to size
