Chunky yarns are thick yarns used to knit or crochet sweaters, vests, shawls, blankets, purses, bags, hats, scarves, placemats, dog sweaters, socks and other items. Chunky yarn is available in different materials, textures and colors. Some of the different types are Cashmere chunky, mohair, wool chunky, cotton chunky, acrylic chunky and super-chunky.

Cashmere chunky is soft and elegant yarn suitable for making throw blankets and luxurious scarves. Some cashmere yarns are blended with silk or nylon to get super-silky yarn. Cashmere blend Lionbrand yarn is super-soft due to the luxurious blend of cashmere and merino wool with nylon. Mohair is an elegant and silky yarn made of Angora goat hair. It is known for its strength and misty texture. Super-chunky yarns are thicker than chunky yarns. They are suitable for making shawls, throw pillow covers and small rugs. Wool chunky yarn is made of lamb’s wool. Cotton chunky is natural yarn, whereas acrylic chunky is a synthetic yarn comprising a blend of wool chunky and super-chunky yarns.
