100g. 100% Acrylic. Chunky.
King Cole’s Big Value Chunky is a straightforward 100% acrylic yarn in a chunky weight — honest, hardwearing, and built for makers who want results without fuss. At 152m per 100g ball, there’s a decent yardage for the weight, making it a sensible choice for larger projects.
It works up quickly on 6mm needles with a clean, consistent stitch definition that makes it easy to read your work. The smooth acrylic construction knits without splitting, even on longer sessions, and it holds its shape well through tension changes — useful when working increases and decreases on seamless garments.
Well suited to chunky scarves, simple cable-knit jumpers, and hot water bottle covers where speed and durability matter more than fibre content. It’s also a practical pick for children’s hats and mittens, where machine washability earns its keep.
The range covers a broad spread of classic and seasonal shades — plain tones that work consistently across large projects without unexpected variation.
