Super Chunky

Definition

Very thick yarn for ultra-fast, highly textured projects. Always confirm whether a pattern uses UK or US terminology before starting. Swatch to verify gauge, then adjust hook size or tension to achieve the desired fabric and fit. Check the abbreviation key, read special notes, and inspect examples to understand the technique clearly.

Examples

•
Hook sizes 9 mm and above.
•
Use loose tension to avoid stiffness.
