Most of the confusion comes from terminology that varies between country and brand. ‘Chunky’ yarn is a term used in the U.K. while ‘Bulky’ yarn is used in the US. Both ‘Chunky’ and ‘Bulky’ refer to the weight of yarn, but this isn’t how heavy it is, rather it refers to the increased thickness of the strand. Here at MeriWoolArt, we like to use the term Chunky. Many knitters find chunky yarn easier to work with than lighter ‘weight' (smaller\/thinner) yarns because it makes fabulous big and defined stitches with extra thickness to grab onto.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is chunky yarn?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorking with thicker yarn fibres helps projects to finish quicker and can be really enjoyable as you gain instant gratification seeing your designs come to life. So, if you want to use chunky yarn, it will require bigger knitting needles, which typically can start at 6.0mm – 8.0mm needles. It’s not always an exact science, so remember to check your instructions or design goal as it can vary with fibre density, stitch pattern, or style of garment. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChunky yarn is perfect for cosy jumpers, cardigans, accessories and homeware.
