These are our favourite chunky knit yarn to buy now
We're always on the lookout for beautiful new yarns to add to our stash – and there are so many chunky knit yarns we'll be adding to our shopping basket.
Chunky knit yarn is great for both knitting and crochet projects. It's thicker and heavier than DK (double knit) yarn and creates a chunkier and more substantial knitted piece.
Another advantage of using chunky yarn is that it stitches up much quicker than DK, making it really satisfying to knit and crochet with.
There are so many chunky knit yarns to choose from – but don't worry, we've done the hard work for you and picked out the best ones to buy now. There's a chunky knit yarn for every budget and project – from beautiful handspun British wool to fun acrylic and polyester yarns in dozens of colours.
You'll use your chunky knit yarn for so many projects – from making cute crochet vests to beautiful knitted blankets. Just make sure before you start a project that you work a tension square in chunky yarn first, to make sure you choose the right sizing on your knitting or crochet pattern.
Happy knitting!
