Overview
A single skein of super bulky, CYC #6 weight yarn in the Aspen Tweed colorway, built to knit or crochet quickly into blankets, sweaters, and other chunky projects.
Tweed colorways in this line use a slightly different fiber blend than the solids, 94% acrylic and 6% rayon rather than pure acrylic, which is part of where the flecked texture comes from. Because it is super bulky, projects grow fast on large needles or hooks, which suits blankets and quick gifts more than fine detail work. Buying multiple skeins for one project is worth planning ahead, since dye lot matching is only guaranteed within a 3-pack purchase.
- CYC #6 super bulky weight
- 94% acrylic, 6% rayon tweed blend
- 4oz/132g, about 64 yards per skein
- Machine washable up to 105F, tumble dry high
Who it's for
Knitters and crocheters wanting a fast-growing chunky project, especially anyone after a tweed texture rather than a flat solid color. Not for anyone needing fine gauge stitch definition.
