Chunky - by Malabrigo

Chunky by Malabrigo is a wonderfully soft and squishy 100% Merino wool yarn. Made by taking their popular Merino Worsted, making it thicker, and plying it into a smooth 3-ply yarn, Chunky is perfect for quick and cozy knitting projects.

Its smooth texture and beautiful semi-solid colors are ideal for bold cables, textured stitches, and chunky garments, while variegated colorways add plenty of visual interest on their own.
