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

Bernat Softee Chunky 3-pack is a super-bulky, ultra-soft 100% acrylic yarn in royal blue designed for fast, easy-care knitting and crochet projects.

Bernat Softee Chunky delivers a plush, reliable yarn choice when you need bold colour, quick gauge and fuss-free maintenance. Sold as three 2.8 oz (100 g / 108 yd) balls, this super-bulky (#6) yarn gives pronounced stitch definition and rapid progress for blankets, garments, hats, scarves and home décor. Its acrylic construction washes and dries in the machine, eliminating special laundering steps while resisting pilling and fading for long-wearing results.

How does this yarn speed up large projects?

Because Softee Chunky is a #6 super-bulky weight, each stitch covers more area and builds height faster than lighter weights. That makes it ideal for afghans, chunky sweaters and oversized accessories where you want to complete pieces in fewer rows and less time.

• Super-bulky gauge: 11 sts x 14 rows on 8 mm (U.S. 11) needles for quick fabric build.
• 108 yards per 100 g ball gives solid yardage for chunky items with just three balls per pack.
• Thick strands mean fewer joins and faster finishing.

What care and durability can I expect from Bernat Softee Chunky?

This yarn is 100% acrylic and formulated for easy care, so you can machine wash and dry finished pieces without shrinking or losing softness. The acrylic fibre resists wear and retains colour, making it suitable for everyday items that need routine laundering.

• Easy-care acrylic: machine washable and machine dryable for low-maintenance garments.
• Colourfast and long-wearing for repeated use and wash cycles.
• Ample stitch definition helps textured patterns stay visible over time.

Which projects and patterns are best suited to this royal blue three-pack?

The royal blue hue and super-bulky gauge work well for statement accessories and home pieces where bold colour and plush texture matter. Because the pack contains three balls, it’s convenient for medium-sized projects or for mixing with other shades in multi-colour designs.

• Afghans, lap blankets and chunky throws that need quick coverage.
• Hats, cowls and scarves that benefit from warmth and structure.
• Home décor pieces—pillow covers, baskets, and chunky-knit accents.

How easy is it to work with for knitters and crocheters of different skill levels?

Softee Chunky is beginner-friendly thanks to its thick strand and good stitch clarity, while intermediate and advanced makers will appreciate how quickly complex textures appear. The yarn’s consistent twist and smooth surface make it simple to pick up stitches and maintain even tension.

• Knitting gauge: use 8 mm (U.S. 11) needles for recommended tension and fabric drape.
• Crochet gauge: 8 mm (U.S. L/11) hook gives defined single crochet textures and fast rows.
• Works well for amigurumi, chunky cables and bold stitch patterns.

Who this is for: Makers who want a vibrant royal blue, super-bulky yarn that knits and crochets up fast with minimal care. Choose Bernat Softee Chunky if you make quick blankets, warm accessories or bold home accents and prefer machine-washable durability. It’s suitable for beginners learning bulky techniques, crafters finishing gift-sized projects on tight timelines, and anyone seeking a soft, resilient acrylic yarn for everyday wear and décor.
