100g. 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool. Super Chunky.
At 10mm and 10 stitches to 10cm, this is a fast knit that works up quickly on large needles without feeling unwieldy in the hand. The 20% wool content gives it just enough structure to hold shape through chunky cables and textured stitches, while the acrylic majority keeps it reliably machine-washable at a low temperature — a sensible balance for seasonal makes that may need refreshing after use. It doesn’t split easily on the needle, which is a real advantage when working at speed on bulky projects.
This is well-suited to quick Christmas gifts: knitted stockings, chunky advent sacks, oversized baubles, and cosy cowls all benefit from the weight and the seasonal colourways. It also works well for simple children’s scarves and ear-warmers that need to be finished in an evening or two.
The palette leans into traditional festive tones — expect rich reds, deep greens, and heathered neutrals that suit the season without being garish.
