Bernat Softee Chunky Super-Bulky Yarn 3-Pack, Berry Red — 100% Acrylic, Machine Washable

Bernat Softee Chunky is a super-bulky, 100% acrylic yarn sold in a 3-pack of berry red balls, designed to make quick, soft, and easy-to-care-for knit or crochet projects.

Whether you want oversized scarves, cosy hats, statement blankets, or bold home accents, this #6 super-bulky yarn speeds up every pattern while keeping stitches defined and fabric soft. The set includes three 100 g (3.5 oz) balls, each with 99 m (108 yd), offering plenty of yardage for small to medium projects in a striking berry red hue. Made from 100% acrylic, Softee Chunky is machine washable and dryable, which simplifies care for finished garments and accessories.

How fast will a project work up with Bernat Softee Chunky?

Because it’s a super-bulky weight, Softee Chunky knits and crochets up much faster than worsted or DK yarns. Large gauge stitches mean fewer rows and quicker visible progress, ideal for last-minute gifts or quick home projects.

• Knitting gauge: 11 stitches and 14 rows on 8 mm (U.S. 11) needles.
• Crochet gauge: 8 single crochet and 9 rows on an 8 mm (U.S. L/11) hook.
• Each ball: 100 g (3.5 oz) / 99 m (108 yd) for estimating yardage.

Is this yarn easy to care for and suitable for everyday use?

Yes. Softee Chunky is 100% acrylic, which resists shrinking and can be washed and dried by machine, making it a practical choice for frequently used accessories and household items. Its synthetic fibre also provides consistent colour and minimal pilling when cared for properly.

• Machine wash and dry for low-maintenance finished items.
• Acrylic fibre holds vibrant colour like berry red without special handling.
• Good stitch definition helps textured patterns retain shape after washing.

What kinds of projects are best suited to this yarn?

Super-bulky yarn excels at items that benefit from structure, warmth, or quick construction. Softee Chunky is versatile across garments, accessories, and home décor, and its stitch definition makes cables and bold textures pop.

• Hats, cowls, and chunky scarves that finish rapidly.
• Throws and small blankets with pronounced texture.
• Bulky sweaters, vests, and oversized layers for statement pieces.

How much yarn do I get and how do I match patterns?

The 3-pack gives you three identical balls, each 100 g with 99 m, so total yardage is approximately 297 m (324 yd). Check your pattern’s required yardage and gauge—substituting super-bulky for narrower weights requires fewer stitches and larger needles or hooks to match dimensions.

• One ball: 100 g (3.5 oz) / 99 m (108 yd); three balls in this pack.
• Compare gauge: use 8 mm needle/hook or adjust pattern stitch counts accordingly.
• Combine with other Bernat or similar #6 yarns for coordinated projects.

Who is this for? Crafters who want fast results, clear stitch definition, and easy-care finished pieces will appreciate Bernat Softee Chunky. It’s a great pick for beginners aiming to see quick progress, experienced makers working on statement accessories or home décor, and anyone who prefers machine-washable yarn in bold colours. The berry red 3-pack supplies enough yarn for hats, scarves, small throws, or accent pieces, while the acrylic fibre and super-bulky gauge make it particularly suited to projects that benefit from warmth, texture, and low maintenance.
