Bulky yarn (also called chunky, or weight 5) knits up fast into warm hats, cowls, blankets, and sweaters. Shop Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky, Lanaloft Bulky and Handpainted, Nature Spun Bulky, Shepherd's Shades, and the Lamb's Pride Mystery Pack.
Tips for knitting with bulky yarn
Most bulky yarn knits at 12 to 15 stitches per 4 inches on US 9 to 11 needles. Because each stitch is big, swatch for anything that needs to fit. Wool-mohair blends like Lamb's Pride also felt beautifully for slippers and bags.
