Thick yarn

The large stitches also appear much clearer in a thick yarn, making it easier to count rows. Cables and patterns can be defined more distinctly, creating a beautiful effect. Imagine, for example, a lovely sofa pillow with large, striking cables that stand out and create an exceptionally beautiful addition to your sofa, while also being comfortably soft due to the thick yarn choice. Some sweaters therefore lend themselves particularly well to thick yarns, where the aim is for the sweater or pattern to stand out. The design may simply be to create a thick, cozy sweater where one never feels cold.

Unspun, thick merino wool yarn has fantastic volume and can require needle sizes up to 30 mm, suitable even for arm knitting. This thickness is great for interior items like seat cushions or perhaps a basket for your four-legged friend.

A world of possibilities with thick yarn

Thick yarn offers a plethora of exciting possibilities to make your knitting and crochet projects more unique. With a thick yarn quality, you can create a look that stands out from the crowd. At the same time, the yarn's robust volume has many great qualities, especially for items like blankets or thick sweaters. Thick yarns provide a very different texture compared to thinner yarn types.

At the same time, thick yarn presents new and exciting challenges for those wanting to try something new.
