How the yarn behaves

Lion Brand Thick & Quick (in the form of its flagship Wool-Ease Thick & Quick) is an iconic super-bulky yarn made from a blend of acrylic and wool. The wool content gives it warmth, softness and a little elasticity, while the acrylic makes the yarn machine washable and dryable. It works up extremely fast for chunky blankets, scarves, cowls, hats, mittens, sweaters, cardigans and home decor, and it also crochets cleanly into thick, lofty fabrics. With dozens of solid and heathered colours, it is a go-to for fast gift projects and arm-knit pieces. Care: machine wash and tumble dry; the acrylic-wool blend keeps shape well and resists pilling and shrinking.
