Bulky and chunky yarns turn a jumper from a winter-long undertaking into a weekend project with a 6mm to 8mm needles and a thick strand. The heavier gauges here sit around ten to fourteen stitches per 10cm, so progress is visible row by row, which also makes these yarns forgiving territory for first garments. Kettle dyed chunky merino arrives from Uruguay in saturated colour, a chunky cotton keeps the speed without the warmth for summer makes, and a plush bouclé knits into instant texture. Hats and snoods in this weight can be finished in a single evening.
