Bernat Softee Chunky Yarn — Super-Bulky #6 Acrylic, Seagreen 3-Pack for Fast, Cosy Knits

Soft, plump, and easy-care, this Bernat yarn gives garments, accessories, and home décor pieces a full-bodied look with prominent stitch definition. Each ball weighs 100 g (3.5 oz) and contains roughly 99 meters (108 yards) of #6 super-bulky yarn, so projects grow quickly. The acrylic fibre makes it machine washable and dryable, simplifying maintenance for everyday use.

How quickly will my project work up with this yarn?

Because this is a super-bulky weight (#6), stitches are large and fabric builds up rapidly, which shortens knitting and crocheting time. It’s a great choice when you want warm results without long commitment.

• Ball length: 99 m (108 yd) per 100 g ball
• Knitting gauge: about 11 stitches × 14 rows on 8 mm (U.S. 11) needles
• Crochet gauge: about 8 sc × 9 rows on 8 mm (U.S. L/11) hook
• 3-ball pack gives more yardage for scarves, hats, and small blankets

Will this yarn hold up to regular washing and wear?

Yes — the 100% acrylic composition resists shrinking and felting and stands up to machine wash and dry cycles. That durability makes it practical for everyday garments and household items that need frequent cleaning.

• Acrylic fibre resists pilling and colour loss when cared for properly
• Machine washable and dryable for hassle-free upkeep
• Colourfast seagreen shade suitable for wearables and décor
