100g. 98% Acrylic, 2% Viscose. Super Chunky.
£3.19
When you want to see real progress on the needles, this super chunky yarn delivers — rows grow fast, and that flecked tweed effect adds instant visual interest to even the simplest stitch patterns. Whether you’re casting on a cosy oversized jumper or a chunky cable-knit throw, the tweed speckling gives your finished piece a warmth and character that belies the price point.
The 98% acrylic, 2% viscose blend gives this yarn a smooth, slightly structured hand feel with just enough body to hold its shape on 10mm needles. Stitches come up crisp and even, making it a solid choice for a textured hat or a chunky ribbed scarf where stitch definition really matters. The viscose adds a subtle sheen to the flecks, giving the tweed effect a little more life than a plain acrylic would.
The colour range leans into classic tweed territory — think heathered, multi-tonal shades that work beautifully for a weekend snood or a chunky knit cushion cover. The flecked construction means the colours have natural depth without needing complex colourwork from you.
As a predominantly acrylic yarn, this is machine washable and highly durable — ideal for a chunky children’s cardigan or a blanket that will see regular use and regular washing. It holds its shape well over time and won’t felt accidentally, so you can knit with confidence.
