Chunky Yarn
What is chunky yarn?
Chunky yarn refers to interior yarn used to fabric or crochet warm clothing and other items that suit a heavy weight and large fastening. Super-chunky is often used with US11 (8mm) or larger needles and a USM (9mm) or larger crochet hook. There are many different textures and materials available in chunkier yarn weights. Wool chunky yarn is made from lamb’s wool. Some wool chunky and super-chunky yarns are blended with acrylics. Cotton chunky yarn is a natural alternative to acrylic chunky and super-chunky yarns.
Chunky yarns are popularity for joining and crocheting assembles of clothing such as sweaters, vests, shawls, hats and scarves. Chunky weight yarn is also ideal for making blankets, slippers and socks as well as purses and bags. Leftover lengths of chunky yarn can be tied together and knitted or crocheted into placemats, dog sweaters and many other items. Some chunky yarns may be all acrylic. These synthetic yarns are economical and easy to care for and may have a coarse, tweedy texture rather than the soft silky feel of natural wool, mohair or cashmere chunky yarn.
