Is bulky yarn the same as chunky yarn?

Yes. "Bulky" is the US name and "chunky" is the UK and European name for the same weight 5 band, so a pattern calling for chunky yarn can be worked in any yarn on this page. Check the gauge on the ball band against your pattern before you start.

Bulky or super bulky?

Super bulky (weight 6) is thicker again, knitting at fewer than 3 stitches per inch on US 11 needles and up. It is the pick for arm-knit style throws and very fast scarves. For sweaters you can wear indoors, bulky is usually the better choice. Browse super bulky yarn to compare.

Bulky yarns our knitters reach for

Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky and Cascade 128 Superwash are workhorse wools for sweaters and blankets. Malabrigo Mecha brings soft, kettle-dyed superwash merino. Berroco Ultra Alpaca Chunky adds alpaca warmth, Tahki Hatteras is a cotton option for warmer months, and Paintbox Simply Chunky is an easy-care acrylic for baby blankets and gifts.

Buying bulky yarn in quantity

Blankets eat yardage. If you need a sweater or throw quantity in one colour, look at our yarn value packs, or browse machine-washable yarn for blankets that need to go in the wash.
