FAQs

What kind of projects is this yarn best for?

King Cole Big Value Chunky is ideal for quick projects like scarves, hats, sweaters, and home accessories.

What size knitting needles should I use?

It is recommended to use 6 mm needles (UK 4/US 10).

How do I care for my finished project?

Machine wash at 40°C and tumble dry on a cool setting. Do not iron or bleach.

Is the colour in the photo exactly what I will receive?

The photographs are for illustrative purposes only, and colours may vary slightly.

How much yarn is in each ball?

Each ball contains 100g of yarn, which is approximately 167 metres (5ft).

Can I use this yarn for baby items?

Yes, but always ensure the project is safe and that the yarn's care instructions are suitable for the intended use. Consider the feel of the acrylic against sensitive skin.

What is the tension for this yarn?

For a 10 cm x 10 cm (4"x4) tension square, aim for 14 stitches x 20 rows using 6 mm needles.

Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting while knitting.

Ensure you are using the correct needle size for the yarn weight. Try to knit more slowly and evenly.

Project looks uneven.

Check your tension. Make a tension square to ensure you are meeting the gauge specified in the pattern. Adjust your needle size if necessary.

Colour looks different than expected.

Remember that colours may vary slightly from the photographs. Ensure you have enough yarn to complete your project, using the same dye lot.
