HOMBYS PROJECT INSPIRATION
Black, White & Grey Variegated Chunky Blanket
Black, grey and ivory-white flow through oversized chenille stitches in this monochrome throw. The changing colors create a relaxed, mottled surface that feels bold on its own and easy to pair with a neutral room.
The video follows hands working the thick loops, then shows the finished blanket spread over a chair. Close-up views let you see how the dark and pale sections of the yarn move through the same stitch pattern.
The Color Story
This look comes from a variegated black, white and grey colorway rather than a fixed sequence of separate solid-color stripes. The changes within the strand create irregular patches and short runs of color. Their placement will vary with your stitch size, row length and the point where you begin each skein.
Project Details
- Project: chunky hand-knit chenille throw.
- Visible palette: black, medium grey and ivory-white.
- Texture: large, open-looking knit loops with a plush surface.
- Media: a 54-second making-and-finished-project video.
Make the Look Your Own
Pair the finished throw with pale upholstery to bring out its dark loops, or place it beside a grey cushion for a quieter tonal combination. The variegated yarn supplies the color interest, so a simple stitch texture lets the changing shades stay visible.

HOMBYS Black, White & Grey Chunky Tie-Dye Chenille Yarn — 8 Pack
This link opens the Black,White,Grey colorway and 8 Pack option. The same product page also offers other pack sizes for this colorway. This is a visual material match to the supplied project video; no yarn label is shown closely enough to establish the original batch or exact shade assignment.
Planning Your Yarn Amount
The video does not give finished measurements, gauge, starting stitch count or total skeins used. Make a swatch in your intended stitch size, measure and weigh it, then scale the yarn amount to your planned blanket area. Allow extra for finishing and differences in tension. The selected 8 Pack is a shopping option, not a verified requirement for the pictured blanket.
YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Reference size: 50 × 60 in (127 × 152 cm). Scope: one finished item.
Whole-skein color budget: approximately 8–12 skeins in total, including one spare in the largest yarn group. Whole-skein rounding by color can exceed the estimated amount actually knitted.
Estimated fabric consumption before the spare: about 6.9–10.3 skein-equivalents across all colors. Small accents may use only part of a skein.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| Black, White & Grey | 8–12 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1–2 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
Planning assumptions: single-layer blanket. Area model uses 350 square inches per 27 yd skein as a working assumption, scaled to the listed skein length; ±20% allowance, plus one spare after rounding each color. Decorative / texture factor: 1. This is not a tested yield or the maker’s confirmed usage.
Color split: Black, White & Grey 100%. These are illustrative planning shares, not measured original proportions. Mixed / gradient product rows are combined yarn groups; their full pack size is not a claim of project consumption. Check pack contents and top up individual colors as needed.
Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
