Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky is a 100% acrylic chunky, made for the projects you want finished this week: blankets, scarves, hats and easy jumpers. Paintbox Yarns is our own brand, designed in house.
On 6.00mm needles the fabric builds up quickly without going stiff, so larger projects like blankets and jumpers work up in a fraction of the time a DK would take. It crochets up well, with good stitch definition, and does not split in use. It stays soft after washing, and being acrylic it takes a machine wash and a low tumble dry, which matters for the blankets and kids' knits that actually get used.
Ideal for colourful stripes, granny squares, chunky colourwork and quick gifts. The shades are developed as a coordinated palette rather than one-offs, so colours can be planned across a project and matched with confidence. The yarn is OEKO-TEX certified.
Specifications: 100g balls, 136m (149yds). Tension 14 stitches and 20 rows to 10cm on 6.00mm (US 10) needles; 6.00mm (J) crochet hook. Machine wash at 30°C, tumble dry on low, cool iron, do not bleach. Made in Turkey.
