bulky yarn

Heavy knitting material

Bulky yarn is a thick, heavy-weight yarn used in knitting and crocheting.

It works up quickly into warm, cozy items like blankets, scarves, and winter sweaters.

Yarn weights are standardized on a scale from lace (finest) to jumbo (thickest), with bulky falling toward the heavier end: I used bulky yarn so the blanket would knit up faster.
