Black is a true, deep black with no grey or brown creeping in. It's also the most practical colour in the range for anything that gets real, everyday use, since it hides marks, pet hair and general wear far better than any lighter shade. Made from 100% super soft polyester in our thickest weight (20 ply, Jumbo 7), it suits a modern minimalist throw, a statement floor cushion, or a rug for a high-traffic room. Black is a favourite for arm knitting and hand knitting alike, particularly for anyone making their first chunky blanket. The extra-thick 20 ply weight does most of the work, so the finished throw looks impressive even if it's your first time picking up needles or a hook.
