Caron Jumbo

Super-bulky acrylic for arm knitting and giant-needle projects. Machine washable for fast blankets and chunky accessories.

What is Jumbo?

Caron Jumbo is a super bulky from Caron. Composition: 100% acrylic. One skein holds 170 m of yarn and weighs 340 g.

How the yarn behaves

Big-skein workhorse acrylic in a value put-up. Plain, predictable behaviour: smooth surface, decent stitch definition, no surprises. Light warmth, no animal-fibre concerns. Built for blanket-scale crochet and knitting where many yards of one colour matter — afghans, throws, charity makes and amigurumi. Machine washable. Dry on low or flat to keep the surface soft; the synthetic fibre flattens if heat-dried hot for long.
