How to choose chunky and super chunky yarn

Choose chunky yarns for quick projects like blankets, scarves and hats, using the needle or hook size on the ball band. Chunky usually works on around 6–8mm needles, and super chunky on around 9mm or larger.

  • Wool and wool blends trap warmth; acrylic is lighter and machine-washable.
  • Super chunky blankets use a lot of yarn, so check the total metres needed.
  • Arm knitting suits very thick, soft yarns.
  • Blankets get heavy quickly, so a circular needle helps support the weight.
