What is Shetland Chunky?

YarnArt Shetland Chunky is a bulky from YarnArt, made in Turkey. Composition: 80% acrylic / 20% wool. One skein holds 200 m of yarn and weighs 100 g.

How the yarn behaves

Bulky wool-acrylic blend with a slightly rustic feel from the wool content. Warmer than pure acrylic at the same weight; bouncier than pure wool thanks to the synthetic share. Stitch definition is clean — cables, ribbing and Aran patterns read well at chunky gauge. Quick to knit into hats, cowls, statement scarves and chunky sweaters. Machine washable on gentle settings. Dry on low or flat to keep the loft; high heat flattens both components and the wool can felt with agitation.
