How the yarn behaves

Rowan Big Wool is a super-chunky yarn made from merino wool, designed for cosy, fast-knit projects. It produces a soft fabric with excellent stitch definition for bold cables, ribbing and texture. The merino content gives the fabric softness, elasticity, resilience and good warmth, while the super-bulky construction keeps it quick to knit – a hat takes only a few hours – and double-stranded it is fantastic for super-bulky jackets and chunky blankets. It also crochets well. The palette is large and vibrant. Care: hand wash cool with mild wool detergent, reshape and dry flat to maintain shape; avoid agitation which can cause felting in the merino fibre.
