King Cole Wildwood Chunky gives you all the warmth and natural character of wool with the added satisfaction of knowing every stitch uses recycled fibre. It’s a yarn that lets you knit quickly and meaningfully — perfect when you want a finished piece in your hands sooner rather than later.
Spun from 100% recycled wool, Wildwood Chunky has the slight texture and earthy warmth you’d expect from a natural fibre — with satisfying stitch definition on chunky projects like a cosy fisherman’s sweater or a thick ribbed beanie. On 6mm needles it knits up with a solid, structured fabric that holds its shape well and feels substantial without being stiff.
The colour palette leans into the yarn’s wild, woodland name — think heathered neutrals, mossy greens, and warm naturals that suit both children’s and adults’ knitwear. These tones work beautifully in simple stitch patterns where the colour itself does the talking.
As a recycled wool yarn, Wildwood Chunky is a thoughtful choice for knitters who care about the provenance of their materials — ideal for a chunky cable wrap or a rustic hat and scarf set you’ll reach for all winter. Check care instructions before washing, as with all wool yarns, to keep your finished makes looking their best.
