If you’re looking to complete a project quickly or you’re just in love with an extra squishy scarf or blanket, then Chunky Yarn is for you. Chunky Weight Yarn is thicker than worsted yarn and is often referred to as Bulky yarn.
Not sure if the yarn you have is chunky? Check the label. Chunky yarn is typically knit at a gauge of about 3-3.75 stitches per inch using a size 9-11 US knitting needle or 8 – 11 sts = 4″ (10 cm) with a K/10½ to M/13 / 6.5 – 9 mm crochet hook.
I have been to ALL of my favorite yarn websites and am so excited to tell you all about their most popular chunky yarns! Get ready to be inspired and gobsmacked by the incredible color, texture and potential of these sensational skeins.
Thank you for being here. You are beautiful. Enjoy!
