Yarn weight differs from expectations
The yarn is more like an Aran weight than a chunky. I am using it for a gents crew neck but have frogged it. I am looking for an Aran or worsted pattern. I have not yet started, still looking for a pattern.

I like the good stitch definition. I love how quick it is to knit. I'm using it for a hoody.
Lovely colour as pictured. 100 recycled wool used to make it. Not soft but not scratchy either. Shows up a textured pattern well.
Used this yarn to knit cushion covers with a cable pattern in two colours. Knits up well and yarn has a nice feel.
I needed one more skein of wool in the snow colour to complete my project. I was very happy with this yarn and it handled well when I was knitting with it.
I bought this yarn as it was recommended for the pattern I wanted to use. Although this is a lovely wool I am extremely disappointed that it has been catalogued as Chunky, which it is most certainly not! This wool, feels between a Double Knit and an Aran.
I wouldn't call it chunky but it's a great yarn. I enjoyed working with it and even purchased more for another project.
Lovely wool to knit with, though I would put it as Aran thickness rather than chunky. Really nice colours too.
Very quick service and lovely wool
Generally good but not as thick as usual chunky wools and feels a bit rough.
