Eucalyptus is a soft, dusty sage green, the colour of a gum leaf rather than a bright lime or emerald green. It's about as at-home in an Australian native garden as a colour gets, and it sits well against timber, rattan and other natural finishes. Made from 100% super soft polyester in our thickest weight (20 ply, Jumbo 7), it's a regular choice for gender-neutral nursery blankets and earthy, natural-toned living rooms. It also makes a good koala, possum or other native-animal plush toy. Pairs well with Cream, Rain Cloud and Taupe if you're mixing shades in one blanket. This is one of our most popular colours for a chunky blanket, whether you're using needles, a hook, or arm knitting it by hand. The jumbo 20 ply weight in Eucalyptus means big, fast rows and a finished throw in a fraction of the time a standard hand knitting yarn would take.
