chunky yarn

Fat knitting material

Chunky yarn is a thick, bulky weight of yarn used in knitting and crochet.

Projects made with chunky yarn work up quickly because fewer stitches cover more area: I knitted that blanket in a weekend using chunky yarn.

The term describes the yarn's weight category, falling between worsted and super bulky on standard thickness scales.
