Super Chunky Cotton Tube Yarn for Arm Knitting, 1 kg

Chunky knit blankets look like they take weeks to make. With yarn this thick, many projects come together in an afternoon, using nothing but your hands. This super chunky tube yarn is a cotton tube filled with hollow fiber, giving it a plump, rounded strand that's soft to touch and light to work with. Arm knit a cozy throw for the sofa, a squishy nest for your cat, or a textured pillow cover, all without needles.

What This Yarn Is

Each strand is a soft cotton outer tube stuffed with lightweight hollow fiber. That construction gives you the bold, oversized stitch look of jumbo merino wool, but in a cotton-based yarn that's lighter, easier to handle and machine washable. Each 1 kg bundle gives you about 45 meters of yarn.

How Much to Order

Ordering one extra bundle is a good idea for larger projects, so you don't run short mid-row.

Project Ideas

A single bundle is enough for a small lap throw or a round pet bed. Knit a chunky ring, stitch it into a nest shape, and you have a squishy cat bed with deep, cushioned walls. Cats often love kneading and curling into chunky knits. The yarn also works well for rugs, throw pillow covers and bulky baskets. A handmade chunky blanket makes a thoughtful gift for a new home, a birthday or the holidays.

Seven Colors

Choose from dark gray, light gray, light pink, mint, ivory, camel or blue. Mix two shades for a striped throw, or keep it simple with a single color that matches your sofa.

Caring for Your Finished Piece

Finished projects can go in the washing machine. Use a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry so the stitches keep their shape.
