Take a peek at Red Heart's "Chunky" yarn for a versatile, quick-to-create 100% acrylic option. Totally machine wash & dry, "Chunky" is great for knitted & crocheted sweaters, jackets, hat,s scarves, shawls, ponchos and so much more. Constructed as a classic plied yarn, the texture of "Chunky" yarn is anything but traditional since each of the 3 plies has a subtle chenille effect for added softness. Also enjoy the multi-hued patterning that appears as if by magic as you work.
