Bernat Extra-Thick Chunky Blanket Yarn Coal — Perfect Phasing 600g #7 Jumbo, Machine-Washable

Bernat Blanket Extra Thick Perfect Phasing Chunky Yarn in Coal is a super-bulky chenille-style #7 yarn designed to make extra-large, ultra-soft blankets and quick, cosy projects with seamless colour shifts.

This oversized chenille yarn brings the signature plush feel of Bernat Blanket yarn into an extra-thick format so you can finish large items fast. Each 600 g/21.2 oz ball contains 65 yards of yarn built for hand knitting and arm-knitting, offering machine-washable convenience and OEKO-TEX® certification for tested safety. The coal shade moves through tonal phases, giving finished pieces depth without complicated colorwork.

How does this yarn speed up big projects?

Because it’s a #7 jumbo gauge with 65 yards per giant skein, you cover more surface area per stitch and complete afghans and throws in far fewer rows. The extra-thick profile pairs with very large needles or arm-knitting for rapid construction.

• Gauge: #7 Jumbo — 25 mm knitting needles or 25 mm crochet hooks recommended.
• Yardage: 65 yards per 600 g/21.2 oz skein to build large items fast.
• Recommended stitches: 2.5 sts × 3.5 rows per 4" for knitting; 2 sc × 2 rows per 4" for crochet.
• Technique-friendly: ideal for arm-knitting, loom work, and oversized needles.

What projects suit the Perfect Phasing Coal colorway?

The Coal phasing yarn transitions through near-black and mid-grey tones, so it’s perfect where subtle shading and a modern neutral palette are desired. It works well for blankets, oversized cushions, and statement throws that benefit from tonal variation without multiple skeins of different colours.

• Large blankets and throws that show off colour gradients.
• Chunky home accessories like floor cushions and bed scarves.
• Quick wearable layers such as chunky cowls or oversized ponchos.
• Amigurumi and craft accents where plush texture matters.

How do you care for finished items made with this yarn?

The yarn is polyester-based and engineered for low-maintenance care: finished pieces can be machine washed and dried, making them practical for everyday use. Always follow gentle cycles and avoid high-heat settings if you want the longest life for the plush pile.

• Fibre: 100% polyester — durable and soft.
• Care: machine washable and dryable; use gentle cycles when possible.
• Durability: chenille-style pile resists flattening with proper care.
• Safety: OEKO-TEX® tested for over 300 harmful substances.

Which tools and tension should I expect when using this jumbo yarn?

Because of the huge strand size, your tool choices are limited to very large needles, hooks, or arm knitting for comfortable tension and consistent stitches. Swatching at the recommended gauge helps judge drape and stitch definition since the plush texture can mask small gauge shifts.

• Knitting Needle: 25 mm / US 50 for recommended gauge.
• Crochet Hook: 25 mm / US T/U/X for recommended gauge.
• Swatch gauge: 4" × 4" = 2.5 sts × 3.5 rows (knit); 2 sc × 2 rows (crochet).
• Adjust tension and hook size for tighter or looser drape as needed.

It’s ideal for knitters, crocheters, and makers who prefer giant-gauge projects, need machine-washable home accessories, or want the visual interest of phased colour without switching skeins.
