Bernat Softee Chunky super-bulky yarn — Black 3-Pack, 100% Acrylic, Machine Washable

Bernat Softee Chunky 3-Pack is a super-bulky, 100% acrylic yarn sold as three easy-care skeins that knit or crochet quickly and hold excellent stitch definition.

Whether you’re making a warm afghan, a cosy sweater, or quick weekend accessories, this Bernat Softee Chunky 3-pack in black gives you thick, long-wearing yarn that washes and tumbles dry. The ultra-soft acrylic feels plush against skin, comes in a broad shade range, and is wound for fast progress on size-8 mm needles or hooks. It’s a practical choice when you want bold texture, standout stitches, and projects that finish sooner rather than later.

How does this yarn speed up my knitting or crochet projects?

The super-bulky gauge (6) and 3-ply construction create large, clearly defined stitches so rows build quickly. Fewer stitches per inch mean less time per project, ideal for blankets, outerwear, and chunky accessories.

• Knitting gauge: about 11 stitches x 14 rows on 8 mm (U.S. 11) needles
• Crochet gauge: about 8 single crochet x 9 rows on an 8 mm (U.S. L/11) hook
• Three balls of 100% acrylic per pack for multiple small projects or one larger item

Will this yarn hold up to regular wear and easy care?

This yarn is made of 100% acrylic fibres formulated for longevity and simple upkeep. It resists pilling and fading, and is safe to machine wash and dry for low-maintenance garments and home goods.

• Machine wash and tumble dry for everyday convenience
• Durable acrylic resists frequent handling and repeated laundering
• Consistent colour with no dye lot concerns for seamless colour-matching

What sorts of projects and stitch patterns benefit from Bernat Softee Chunky?

This yarn excels at items where warmth, texture, and speed matter. Use it for afghans, coats, hats, scarves, and statement home pieces — all projects where thick yarn showcases cables, ribbing, and textured stitches.

• Perfect for quick blankets, chunky sweaters, and oversized accessories
• Works well for both knit and crochet patterns calling for super-bulky yarn

How much yarn is included and what should I expect in yardage?
